Abstract
The three B genomes of Brassica contained in B. nigra, B. carinata and B. juncea were dissected by addition in B. napus. Using phenotypic, isozyme and molecular markers we characterized 8 alien B-genome chromosomes from B. nigra and B. carinata and 7 from B. juncea by constructing synteney groups. The alien chromosomes of the three different sources showed extensive intragenomic recombinations that were detected by the presence of the same loci in more than one synteny group but flanked by different markers. In addition, intergenomic recombinations were observed. These were evident in euploid AACC plants of the rapeseed phenotype derived from the addition lines carrying a few markers from the B genome due to translocations and recombinations between non-homoeologous chromosomes. The high plasticity of the Brassica genomes may have been an powerful factor in directing their evolution by hybridization and amphiploidy.
