Abstract
The spontaneous gene transfer from oilseed rape (Brassica napus, 2n=38, gen omic constitution AACC) to the weedy relatives B. rapa (2n = 20; AA), B. ju ncea (2n=36, AABB), Hirschfeldia incana(B. adpressa, 2n=14, AdAd), Raphanus raphanistrum (2n=18, RrRr) and Sinapis arvensis (2n=18, Sar Sar) has been studied in controlled experiments or in natural populations. The extent and possible consequences of this interspecific and intergeneric gene flow fro m oilseed rape are evaluated in a review of relevant European research.
