Abstract

'Polima' cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) was transferred to three different genotypes of B. napus i.e. GSL-1, ISN706 and HNS-8 by repeated backcrossing and was found to be completely stable in the nuclear background of synthetic B. napus genotype, ISN706, derived from a cross B. campestris ssp. oleifera var. brown sarson × B. oleracea var. botrytis cv. Tusa Katki'. The BC5 and BC6 generation lines of ISN706, GSL-1 and HNS-8 with 'Polima' CMS were grown under a range of temperature and photo-period conditions to test their stability. No breakdown in sterility was observed in 'Polima' ISN706 and, therefore, this genotype can be used as a maintainer for hybrid seed production.
