Increasing genetic variability in oilseed rape (Brassica napus) - Genotypes and phenotypes of oilseed rape transformed by wild type Agrobacterium rhizogenes.

Abstract excerpt

Brassica napus (oilseed rape) is a major oil crop worldwide. Due to the short domestication period of oilseed rape the genetic variability is limited compared to other crops. Transfer of rol and aux genes from Agrobacterium rhizogenes is used in horticulture to increase genetic variability. In the current study, we explore transformation by A. rhizogenes as a biotechnological approach in breeding for more...
