Abstract A population of 150 doubled haploid lines of rapid cycling Brassica oleracea, derived from an F1 from a var. alboglabra × var. italica cross, was scored for flowering time in two trials. Using information on 82 mapped molecular markers, spread evenly across the nine linkage groups, QTL were identified at six locations; one each on linkage groups O2 and O3 and two each on linkage groups O5 and O9. In total, these QTL explained 58 and 93% of the genetical variation in the two trials. Three of these QTL, on linkage groups O2, O3, and O9, were situated in regions showing considerable homology both with each other and with chromosome regions of B. nigra that have been shown to affect flowering time. These same regions are all homologous to a single tract of Arabidopsis chromosome 5, which contains a number of the flowering-related genes, one or more of which may be candidates for the QTL found in Brassica.

A set of 216 PCR-based molecular markers was screened for polymorphisms using two morphologically dissimilar broccoli lines, `VI-158' and `BNC'. Fifty-nine of these markers, representing 69 detected polymorphisms and two morphological markers, were used to construct a genetic linkage map of broccoli [Brassicaoleracea (L.) var. italica] from a population of 162 F2:3 families generated from the cross between these two lines. Ten genetic linkage groups were generated that spanned a distance of 468 cM with an average interval width of 9.4 cm. This map represents the first combined SSR and SRAP map of Brassica oleracea. Comparisons are made to existing maps of Brassicanapus and to inter-specific maps of Brassicaoleracea. To our knowledge this is the first linkage map of broccoli [Brassicaoleracea (L.) var. italica] and should provide a useful tool for the genetic analysis of traits specific to the italica subspecies.

Cabbage (Brassica oleracea) is an important vegetable crop that is cultivated worldwide. Previously, we reported the identification of two dominant complementary hybrid lethality (HL) genes in cabbage that could result in the death of hybrids. To avoid such losses in the breeding process, we attempted to develop molecular markers to identify HL lines. Among 54 previous mapping markers closely linked to BoHL1 or BoHL2, only six markers for BoHL2 were available in eight cabbage lines (two BoHL1 lines; three BoHL2 lines; three lines without BoHL); however, they were neither universal nor user-friendly in more inbred lines. To develop more accurate markers, these cabbage lines were resequenced at an ~20× depth to obtain more nucleotide variations in the mapping regions. Then, an InDel in BoHL1 and a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in BoHL2 were identified, and the corresponding InDel marker MBoHL1 and the competitive allele-specific PCR (KASP) marker KBoHL2 were developed and showed 100% accuracy in eight inbred lines. Moreover, we identified 138 cabbage lines using the two markers, among which one inbred line carried BoHL1 and 11 inbred lines carried BoHL2. All of the lethal line genotypes obtained with the two markers matched the phenotype. Two markers were highly reliable for the rapid identification of HL genes in cabbage.

Germination Traits

AbstractGenetic mapping of seed germination traits has been performed with many plant species. In tobacco, however, investigations are rare. In the present study, a bi-parental mapping population consisting of 118 doubled haploid lines and derived from a cross between ‘Beinhart-1000’ and ‘Hicks’ was investigated. Four germination-related traits, total germination (TG), normal germination (NG), time to reach 50% of total germination (T50), and the area under the curve after 200 h of germination (AUC) were considered by examining seeds either untreated or after a moderate controlled deterioration (CD). Quantitative trait loci were found for all traits distributed on 11 out of the 24 linkage groups. It was demonstrated that, as in many other species, germination-related traits are very complex and under polygenic control.

Abstract A reciprocal chromosomal transposition was identified in several annual oilseed Brassica napus genotypes used as parents in crosses to biennial genotypes for genetic mapping studies. The transposition involved an exchange of interstitial homeologous regions on linkage groups N7 and N16, and its detection was made possible by the use of segregating populations of doubled haploid lines and codominant RFLP markers. RFLP probes detected pairs of homeologous loci on N7 and N16 for which the annual and biennial parents had identical alleles in regions expected to be homeologous. The existence of an interstitial reciprocal transposition was confirmed by cytological analysis of synaptonemal complexes of annual × biennial F1 hybrids. Although it included approximately one-third of the physical length of the N7 and N16 chromosomes, few recombination events within the region were recovered in the progenies of the hybrids. Significantly higher seed yields were associated with the parental configurations of the rearrangement in segregating progenies. These progenies contained complete complements of homeologous chromosomes from the diploid progenitors of B. napus, and thus their higher seed yields provide evidence for the selective advantage of allopolyploidy through the fixation of intergenomic heterozygosity.

Several sets of wheat inter-varietal chromosome substitution lines (SLs) have been produced over the last fifty years at the CRI (formerly RICP) in Prague-Ruzyně, based on cytogenetic manipulations using aneuploids. Lines with defined genes have been obtained which significantly influence growth habit and flowering time and these have been used particularly in the study of the genetics and physiology of flowering. The sets of lines include substitutions of homoeologous group 5 chromosomes carrying Vrn genes that control vernalisation response, homoeologous group 2 chromosomes with Ppd genes controlling photoperiodic sensitivity, and some other substitutions, particularly those with chromosome 3B of the Czech alternative variety Česká Přesívka where a novel flowering time effect was located. Although the phenotypic and cytological analysis of substitution lines has been continually carried out during backcrossing generations, only the use of molecular markers can allow an unambiguous characterization to verify that substitutions are correct and complete. This analysis has allowed incorrect substitutions or partial substitutions to be identified and discarded. This paper summarizes the results of recent molecular checks of the substitution line collections at CRI.
