Acer triflorum: A maple species that serves as a resource for nervonic acid and that has an ultralow erucic acid content

Brassica junceais a crucial cultivated mustard species and principal oilseed crop of India and Madhya Pradesh, grown for diverse vegetables, condiments, and oilseeds. Somaclonal variation was explored as a probable source of additional variability for the manipulation of fatty acids, especially low erucic acid contents that may be valuable for this commercially important plant species. The plantlets regenerated from tissue cultures (R0), their R1 generation and respective parental lines were compared for morpho-physiological traits and fatty acid profile for the probable existence of somaclonal variations. The first putative somaclone derived from genotype CS54 contained 5.48% and 5.52% erucic acid in R0 and R1 regenerants, respectively, compared to the mother plant (41.36%). In comparison, the second somaclone acquired from PM30 exhibited a complete absence of erucic acid corresponding to its mother plant (1.07%). These putative somaclones present a source of variation for exploitation in the development of future mustard crops with low erucic acid content.

Brassica Napus L

Doubled haploid (DH) self-incompatible (SI) regenerants with improved seed quality were derived after two improvement crossing cycles with different “00” quality donors. The original genetic resource of recessive sporophytic SI was characterised by a high glucosinolate (GSL) and erucic acid content. SI regenerants of satisfactory seed quality parameters were obtained from the second cycle of crossing. Total number of derived SI plants was 87, i.e. 38.2% out of 228 obtained fertile doubled haploid regenerants developed in 2004. Nine plants out of the analysed 45 SI DH regenerants had the erucic acid content lower than 2%. Five out of these nine plants, which were analysed by HPLC method, had the glucosinolate content lower than the limit 18 µmol/g at 9% seed moisture. The method based on the spraying of inflorescences with 5% NaCl to enable reproduction of SI lines was verified.
