Abstract:
Interspecific hybridizations between different varieties of
Brassica rapa L.ssp.
peki-nensis (Lour.) Olsson and
Brassica oleracea var.
capitata L.were carried out. The hybrids were obtained by successive bud pollination and ovule culture and tested by means of identification by cytology.Results showed that 57 plants were obtained by interspecific hybridization between
B.rapa L.ssp.
pekinensis and
B.oleracea var.
capitata L.Cytological identification and pollen characteristics survey revealed that 47 of the hybrids had the anticipated chromosomes (2n=19) and pollen fertility was aborted; while 6 hybrids had 38chromosomes and were fertile.The BC
1 plants were obtained through back cross between fertile hybrids F
1 and
B.rapa L.ssp.
pekinensis.Field investigation showed that all F
1 hybrids had many characteristics from both parents,the BC
1 plants had obvious heading and were similar to
B.rapa L.ssp.
pekinensis.
