Our invention comprises a gene restorer line of Brassica napus which contains a Raphanus sativus restorer gene but is essentially free of Raphanus sativus genes which produce high glucosinolate. In particular, we provide a gene restorer line, and progeny derived therefrom, seed of which is low in glucosinolates. The Brassica napus restorer lines are free of glucosinolate-producing genes having a characteristic RFLP signature. The method of producing such lines which comprises crossing Brassica napus restorer lines and hybrids with desired Brassica napus germplasm and selecting progeny having a characteristic RFLP signature is also encompassed by the present invention.
Brassica plant comprising a homozygous fertility restorer gene for Ogura cytoplasmic male sterility, wherein upon pollination the plant yields seeds having a total glucosinolate content of not more than 17 μmol e.g. per gram dry seed.
A doubled haploid Brassica plant comprising a homozygous fertility restorer gene for Ogura cytoplasmic male sterility, wherein upon pollination the plant yields seeds having a total glucosinolate content of not more than 17 μmol e.g. per gram dry seed.
The method of using a Brassica plant comprising the steps of:
Brassica plant and the seeds thereof comprising a homozygous fertility restorer gene for Ogura cytoplasmic male sterility, wherein upon pollination the plant yields seeds including at least one of the following total glucosinolate contents selected from the group of:
