Abstract
A method for isolating and characterizing homozygous S-allele lines of brassicas is described. The tester plants used are produced by crossi ng the parent plants with a recessive S-allele homozygote. The full me thod uses reciprocal crosses to identify and characterize the lines im mediately. When flowering is prolonged and enables further tests to be carried out, a more efficient method that only uses single crosses in itially can be used.
