Abstract excerpt
Sclerotinia stem rot (Sclerotinia sclerotiorum) is a major disease of Brassica oilseeds. As suitable donors to develop resistant cultivars are not available in crop Brassicas, we introgressed resistance from a wild Brassicaceae species, B. fruticulosa. We produced 206 B. juncea-B. fruticulosa introgression lines (ILs). These were assessed for pollen grain fertility, genome size variations and resistance responses...
