Abstract

Meiotic analysis of B. napus X S. alba sexual hybrids at MI showed a mean chromosome pairing ratio of 16.5 I, 6.97 II (rings + rods), 0.47 III and 0.13 IV per meiocyte. Partial fertility of the F1 hybrids and the ease of obtaining BC1 seeds when crossed to B. napus suggest the possibility of transferring useful gene(s) to the cultivars of B. napus.
