OILSEED BRASSICA CONTAINING AN IMPROVED FERTILITY RESTORER GENE FOR OGURA CYTOPLASMIC MALE STERILITY

摘要

The invention is a Brassica plant comprising a homozygous fertility restorer gen e for ogura cytoplasmic male sterility and oilseed, meal and oil produced from the pla nt. Upon pollination, the plant yields oilseeds having a total glucosinolate content of not more than 30 .mu.mol/gram, not more than 25 .mu.mol/gram or not more than 20 .mu.mol/gram and, optionally, an erucic acid content of no more than two percent by weight based upon the total fatty acid content. The Brassica plant may be Brassi ca napus, Brassica campestris, or Brassica juncea.
