Abstract
Genes of the B genome of Brassica conditioning Phoma resistance at the epicotyle were transferred into Brassica napus by interspecific hybridization. The recombinant lines expressed high resistance similar to that of the donor parents. Unlike the oligo- or poly-genically inherited resistance of B. napus known so far, the B-genome resistance genes of the recombinant lines behaved monogenically dominant. No significant differences in the level of resistance or in the phenotype of the resistance mechanisms were observed among homozygous resistant plants when the different B-genome origins investigated, i.e. B. nigra, B. juncea and B. carinata, were compared. Therefore it was assumed that the resistance genes of each B-genome species and the resistance mechanisms of the species are identical. Temperature increased the expression of internal lesions caused by Phoma lingam. High summer temperatures in the greenhouse led to faster development of tissue damage at the epicotyle of plants, resulting in significant deviations in segregation ratios, when fixed scores were used for disease classification. Independent of origin, the three B-genome resistance genes were introgressed at the same location of the rapeseed genome. The arrangement and distances of closely linked RFLP markers on linkage-groups were similar to those of the same markers on linkage group six of the rapeseed map. It is concluded that the B-genome resistance genes were introgressed by homoeologous recombination after allosyndetical pairing of B-genome chromosomes with the A- or C-genome chromosomes.
