Methods of producing F1 hybrid swedes (Brassica napus ssp. rapifera)

  • Published:
Euphytica Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The methods by which F1 hybrid swedes can be produced are discussed. The use of self-incompatibility is considered preferable to the use of cytoplasmic male sterility. Several ways of utilising self-incompatibility are available and the integration of self-compatible lines into these methos should simplify their use.
