Abstract: | Summary
Brassica napus is a natural allotetraploid derived from the diploid species B. rapa L. (syn. campestris L.) and B. oleracea L. Somatic hybrids synthesized from highly heterozygous lines of these two diploid species were evaluated for fertility. The hybrids were obtained from two fusion experiments which differed in the B. rapa full-sibling parent used as the source of protoplasts. Both B. rapa siblings were lelf-incompatible (SI) yet contained different S-alleles; the B. oleracea species parent was self-compatible (SC). Eight tetraploid hybrids examined had very high female and male fertility; eight hybrids with higher ploidy had low fertility. Hybrids derived from one B. rapa sibling were self-incompatible, whereas those derived from the other B. rapa sibling were fully self-compatible. These data suggest that the different S-alleles of each B. rapa sibling displayed varying penetrance relative to the SC of the B. oleracea parent when combined in B. napus.Abbreviations SC
