BCgDFFS

Brassica C genome Diversity Fixed Foundation Set (BCgDFFS)


The BCgDFFS was established from 89 founder accessions representing 14 species*.

To fix the population and to overcome self - incompatibility the founder lines were

crossed with a microspore - responsive, self - compatible rapid cycling line.

 

We have created fixed doubled haploid lines from 35 founder accessions

representing 12 species.

*The collection is based partly on the materials available from the Genetic Resources Unit plus additional lines collected by Lorenzo Maggioni for an MSc thesis:
"Numerical Taxonomy Investigation of (2n=18) Wild Scicilian Brassica species using Morphological Characters" Birmingham University, 1996.
