文摘

Clubroot, caused by the protozoan parasite Plasmodiophora brassicae Woronin, is one of the most damaging diseases of Brassica napus worldwide. Resistant plant material is valuable for cultivation in all areas of high incidence of the disease and intensive growth of oilseed rape. We have evaluated clubroot resistance, plant morphology and seed quality in 15 lines of an F₄ generation and selected six lines of F₅ generation of interspecific hybrids obtained from a cross between a male sterile line of B. napus ‘MS8’, selected from resynthesized oilseed rape (B. rapa ssp. chinensis × B. oleracea var. gemmifera) and an ecotype of B. rapa ssp. pekinensis. Clubroot resistance was evaluated using a bioassay with P₁-P₅ pathotypes of P. brassicae (according to the classification of Somé et al. 1996). The resistance to the pathotype P₁ was successfully fixed in the F₅ generation, and improved in some lines in respect to the pathotypes P₂-P₄. The resistance to P₁ and the other tested pathotypes was not linked. Characterization of plant material included recent techniques of FISH and BAC-FISH with a special focus on the analysis of ribosomal DNA (rDNA) of selected individuals. Two hybrid lines combined high levels of resistance with appropriate plant morphology, good seed quality traits and a stable chromosome number and arrangement. Recent techniques of ‘chromosome painting’ provided good insight into chromosome organization in the hybrids obtained, and offered opportunities of further improvement of the breeding process.
