Abstract
A rapeseed plant having a multiplied genome being at least as fertile as a euploid rapeseed plant isogenic to the genomically multiplied plant grown under similar conditions.
Claims18
A Brassica napus rapeseed plant having a doubled amphidiploid genome being at least as fertile as a euploid Brassica napus rapeseed plant isogenic to the genomically doubled plant grown under similar conditions, wherein fertility is determined by number of seeds per plant, and wherein the genomically doubled plant is grown from genomically doubled rapeseed seed, which seed have been generated by:
- (a) applying a magnetic field to seeds of the euploid Brassica napus;
- and
- (b) contacting said seeds of the euploid Brassica napus with a microtubule polymerization inhibitor under said magnetic field for targeted delivery of said microtubule polymerization inhibitor to chromatin fibers in nuclei of said seeds.
A rapeseed plant as deposited under the Budapest treaty in NCIMB Ltd. and having Accession No. NCIMB 41592 Brassica napus 187-24N.
A method of generating a genomically doubled Brassica napus rapeseed seed, the method comprising:
- (a) applying a magnetic field to seeds of a euploid Brassica napus;
- and
- (b) contacting said seeds of said euploid Brassica napus with a G2/M cell cycle inhibitor comprising a microtubule polymerization inhibitor under said magnetic field for targeted delivery of said microtubule polymerization inhibitor to chromatin fibers in nuclei of said seeds;
- thereby generating the genomically doubled Brassica napus rapeseed seed.
