Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: Derived amphiploidy helped to resynthesize agronomically superior B. juncea germplasm which showed high heterosis in crosses with natural B. juncea . This new procedure facilitates a seamless flow of variation across Brassica digenomics. Brassica digenomics, artificially resynthesized by hybridizing extant genome donor diploids, show poor breeding value due to the linkage drag associated with diploid...
