Reciprocal crosses were made between a plant of Brassica campestris L. containing no erucic acid in its seed oil and two plants of the Indian varieties Yellow and Brown Sarson grown from seed containing approximately 59% erucic acid. The erucic acid content in the oil from F1 embryos was intermediate between the parents indicating embryonic control of the synthesis of this acid. Seed oil analysis of F2, F3, and backcross populations supported the hypothesis that erucic acid synthesis is controlled by a single non-dominant gene. Analysis of oil extracted from immature and partially germinated seed showed that erucic acid content was highest in fully matured non-germinated seed.

Genetic analysis of F2, F3, and backcross populations supported the hypothesis that erucic acid content in seed oil of plants of Brassica napus L. is governed by two genes displaying no dominance and acting in an additive manner. Environment appeared to influence erucic acid content, especially in genotypes capable of producing a large amount of this acid. Methods for the breeding of plants of Brassica campestris L. with zero erucic acid are outlined and it is suggested that similar methods could be used to breed for or against other fatty acids.

The One

The interplant outcrossing rate was studied for one cultivar and four lines of rape (Brassica napus) and three cultivars of mustard (Brassica juncea) under field conditions at Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, in 1982, 1983 and 1984. Marker characters used for determining outcrossing rates were seed oil erucic acid content for rape and seed color for mustard. The average interplant outcrossing rate was 21.8% for rape and 18.7% for mustard. No significant differences in outcrossing rates among the one cultivar and the four lines of rape or the three cultivars of mustard were detected. A wide range in outcrossing rates between plants within cultivars and lines was observed for both species, but whether this variation was genetic or was environmentally induced could not be determined in these experiments. Some of the implications of this partial outcrossing on methods used for the breeding of these crops are discussed.Key words: Outcrossing, rape, mustard

SUMMARYEthiopian mustard (Brassica carinata) genotypes with different contents of oleic acid (C18:1) in the seed oil could be useful for food and industrial applications. The objectives of the present research were to study the inheritance of high C18:1 in the seed oil of different lines of Ethiopian mustard and its relationship with erucic acid content (C22:1). The low C18:1/high C22:1 mutant line L-1806, the high C18:1/high C22:1 mutant line L-482, the high C18:1/low C22:1 mutant line L-2890 and the low C18:1/very high C22:1 mutant line L-1630 were isolated after a chemical mutagen treatment of C-101 seeds (about 94 g C18:1/kg and 450 g C22:1/kg). The high C18:1/zero C22:1 line L-25X-1 was obtained by interspecific crosses of Ethiopian mustard with rapeseed and Indian mustard. Plants of lines L-2890×C-101, L-482×L-2890, L-1630×L-25X-1, L-1630×L-2890 and L-482×L-1806 were reciprocally crossed and F2 and the BC1F1 generations were obtained. Cytoplasmic effects were not observed in any of the crosses. The segregation pattern in F2 and BC1F1 populations differed in the crosses studied. The inheritance of C18:1 content in crosses segregating for this fatty acid was that expected for one (crosses between L-482×L-1806), two (L-2890×C-101) or three (L-1630×L-2890, L-1630×L-25X-1 and L-482×2890) loci. Oleic acid segregation indicated control of accumulation by two segregating genetic systems, one acting on chain elongation from C18:1 to C22:1 and the other involving desaturation from C18:1 to linoleic acid (C18:2). Accumulations of C18:1 and C22:1 were influenced by the same loci (M1, M2, E1 and E2), which control the chain elongation steps leading from C18:1 to C22:1. In addition, C18:1 was influenced by one additional locus (tentatively named OL) involved in control of desaturation of C18:1 to form C18:2. The genetic constitution of the parent lines would be OlOlE1E1E2E2m1m1m2m2 for L-2890, OlOlE1E1E2E2M1M1M2M2 for C-101, ololE1E1E2E2M1M1M2M2 for L-1630, OlOle1e1e2e2M1M1M2M2 for L-25X-1, ol1ol1E1E1E2E2M1M1M2M2 for L-482 and Ol1Ol1E1E1E2E2M1M1M2M2 for L-1806. Transgressive recombinants were obtained from the cross L-1630×L-25X-1, with about three-fold increase of the C18:1 content of the parents (>643 g/kg) and free of C22:1 content, which represent a high potential for commercial exploitation.

The seed oil content and the fatty acid composition of a germplasm collection of Brassica napus and Brassica rapa currently grown in Galicia (northwestern Spain) were evaluated in order to identify potentially interesting genotypes and to assess their suitability as oilseed crops for either edible or industrial purposes. The seeds of the B. rapa landraces had higher oil content (mean 47.3%) than those of B. napus (mean 42.8%). The landraces of both species showed a similar fatty acid profile (12% oleic acid, 13% linoleic acid, 8–9% linolenic acid, 8–9% eicosenoic acid, and 50–51% erucic acid). They were very high in erucic acid content, which is nutritionally undesirable in a vegetable oil, and very low in oleic and linoleic acid contents. Therefore, they could be used for industrial purposes but not as edible oil. The erucic acid content ranged from 42% to 54% of the total fatty acid composition with an average value of 50% in the B. napus landraces whereas in B. rapa, it ranged from 43% to 57%, with an average value of 51%. Considering the seed oil and the erucic acid content together, three varieties within the B. napus collection and two varieties within the B. rapa one seem to be the most promising genotypes for industrial purposes.

Ethiopian mustard (Brassica carinata A. Braun) is a highly productive oilseed crop in the central highlands of Ethiopia. Cultivars currently in production in Ethiopia produce seed which contains 35–40% erucic acid in its oil which is undesirable for human consumption. Zero erucic acid B. carinata has recently been developed. The objective of this study was to investigate the inheritance of erucic acid in progeny of crosses between the high erucic acid cultivars Dodolla and S-67 with the zero erucic acid line C90-14. The erucic acid content of F1 seed born on either the high or low erucic acid parents was intermediate between the parents indicating embryonic control of erucic acid content in B. carinata. Erucic acid contents of backcross seed derived from the backcross to the zero erucic acid parent segregated into three classes with <0.5%, 6–16% and >16% erucic acid at a ratio of 1:2:1 and F2 seed segregated into five classes with a ratio of 1:4:6:4:1. These segregation patterns indicated that erucic acid in B. carinata was controlled by two genes acting in an additive manner with each locus contributing about 10% erucic acid. It was concluded that the B and C genomes of B. carinata each carry one gene for erucic acid synthesis. The knowledge of the inheritance of erucic acid in B. carinata will assist in the development of zero erucic acid B. carinata cultivars. Key words:Brassica carinata, erucic acid, inheritance

Low Erucic Acid

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.
