European winter canola (Brassica napus L.) cultivars harbour genes for durable resistance to the fungus Leptosphaeria maculans, which causes blackleg disease under Australian environmental conditions. Previous studies have shown that resistance in winter-type cultivars Maxol and Columbus is controlled by two genes, Rlm1 and Rlm3, which have been mapped using randomly amplified polymorphic DNA markers onto chromosome A7. We mapped a doubled-haploid population that consisted of 101 lines from a cross between Maxol*1 and Westar-10 using diversity arrays technology and simple sequence repeat (SSR)-based markers. Two SSR marker loci, Xol12-e03 and Xra2-a05b, flanked the Rlm1 locus at an interval of 6.7 cM, which corresponds to ~3.2 Mb of the Brassica rapa genomic sequence; this region contains several genes encoding putative kinase and leucine-rich repeat-type disease-resistance proteins. SSR markers were further tested for their linkage with the Rlm1 locus in an independent population derived from Columbus*3/Westar-10. Our results showed that SSR markers linked to Rlm1 can be useful for monitoring Rlm1 gene introgression in breeding populations derived from Maxol and Columbus.

The doubled haploid breeding method and greenhouse screening using cotyledon bio-assay were successfully applied to transfer blackleg resistance from the Australian cultivar Maluka (Brassicas napus), into susceptible advanced B. napus lines from the University of Alberta. This approach for blackleg resistance breeding was effective and efficient as several superior blackleg resistant breeding lines were identified within 4 yr from the initial cross. One of these lines (91–21864NA) was entered in the 1993 trials of the Western Canada Canola/Rapeseed Recommending Committee. Key words: Blackleg resistance, Leptosphaeria maculans, doubled haploid, Brassica napus

Leptosphaeria biglobosa n.sp. is described for the weakly virulent (or non-aggressive) pathogen causing blackleg of oilseed rape and canola. The new species differs from the aggressive blackleg organism, Leptosphaeria maculans (Desm.) Ces. & De Not. in having a very prominent beak on the ascomata that is greatly enlarged at the apex. Ascomata of both species were produced on canola stems either by inoculation of compatible strains of the Phoma anamorph or by single ascospore isolates at a distance of 1 cm and letting them grow together. Both species exhibit bipolar heterothallism. Interspecific crosses were negative. In a study of type specimens of Leptosphaeria species with 5-septate ascospores infecting Cruciferae, none were found that matched the features of L. biglobosa. Leptosphaeria napi (Fuckel) Saccardo on Brassica napus L., and Leptosphaeria virginica (Cooke & Ellis) Saccardo on Lepidium virginica L., are synonyms of L. maculans. Leptosphaeria submaculans Holm on Sisymbrium, Berteroa, and Erysimum has distinctively enlarged ascospores. Leptosphaeria alliariae (Desm.) Ces. & De Not. on Alliaria officinalis Andrz., has much smaller ascospores. Leptosphaeria lindquistii Frezzi on Helianthus annuus L. of the Asteraceae has ascospores with only one, two, or rarely, three septa but was considered because it too has a Phoma anamorph.Key words: Phoma lingam, B group, ascomata.
