Abstract:

Hybridization between Brassica rapa L. ssp chinensis var. utilis Tsen. et Lee and Brassica oleracea var. Alboglabra can enrich genetic background and innovate germplasm resources. However, due to the dysplasia of fertilization zygote, embryo rescue of the interspecific hybrid is necessary to obtain the offspring. The interspecific hybridization was performed using Brassica rapa L. ssp chinensis var. utilis Tsen. et Lee as female parents and Brassica oleracea var. Alboglabra as male parents. Hybrid embryos were harvested for artificial culture after crosses. In this experiment, five kinds of mediums, six different sampling time, four kinds of rooting mediums and three kinds of chromosome-doubling manner were set. Suitable interspecific hybrid embryo rescue methods, proliferation and expansion methods, and chromosome doubling methods were selected to improve the hybrid acquisition rate. The results showed that embryogenesis rate of ERM4 (MS+0.5 mg·L-1 6-BA+0.5 mg·L-1 NAA+1.0 mg·L-1 KT+1 g·L-1 AC) was 10.47%, used as the optimal embryo rescue medium. 12 d after pollination was the best sampling time since the embryogenesis rate was 26.32%. RM4 (1/2MS+0.5 mg·L-1 IBA) had the highest rooting rate and the shortest rooting time, which was the best rooting medium. The method that applied at growth points 5 times with colchicine, was the best chromosome-doubling manner, in which chromosome doubling rate reached to 62.26%. And then the F1 generation hybrids plants were identified through morphological identification, chromosome analysis and ploidy identification. The results showed that the hybrids obtained in the experiment were true hybrids, and the fertile plants were allotetraploidy. The successful creation of allotetraploid vegetable germplasm laid a foundation for subsequent breeding research.
