Rb. Jorgensen et al., RANDOM AMPLIFIED POLYMORPHIC DNA MARKERS OF THE BRASSICA-ALBOGLABRA CHROMOSOME OF A BRASSICA-CAMPESTRIS-ALBOGLABRA ADDITION LINE, Chromosome research, 4(2), 1996, pp. 111-114
The alien C-genome chromosome in a Brassica campestris-alboglabra mono
somic addition line was characterized by random amplified polymorphic
DNA (RAPD) analysis. The alien chromosome carried three loci, E(c), W-
c and Lap-1C, controlling synthesis of erucic acid, white flower colou
r and a fast-migrating band of leucine aminopeptidase (Lap-1C(c)) resp
ectively. The RAPD analysis revealed 17 markers specific to the alien
chromosome. Among 45 offspring plants from the selfed addition line th
e alien C-chromosome was transmitted to 15 plants, four plants had onl
y parts of this chromosome and the remaining 26 plants did not carry t
he chromosome.
