Transfer of 2,4-D-resistance from Raphanus raphanistrum into Brassica napus: Production of F1 hybrids through embryo rescue

Abstract

Development of 2,4-D-resistant Brassica napus varieties is valuable for conservation tillage and post emergence control of broadleaf weeds. This research documents successful production and transfer of 2,4-D resistance from Raphanus raphanistrum (wild radish) into, Brassica napus via embryo rescue.
