    Notes: An investigation into the glucosinolate profile of seed and leaf tissue of F1 hybrids from reciprocal crosses between B. napus‘Cobra’ and a synthetic B. napus line was undertaken to test hypotheses concerning the site of biosynthesis of seed glucosilates. The profile of the seed aliphatic glucosinolates was dentical to the maternal parent suggesting the absence of glucosinolate biosynthesis and glucosinolate interconversion within the embryo and the transfer of fully formed glucosinolates from maternal tissue into the developing seed. In cotyledons, while there was no evidence for de novo glucosinolate biosynthesis, there was evidence for side chain modication and the interconversion of existing glucosinolates. in true leaves, the glucosinolate profile of the reciprocal F1 hybrids were identical, and in accordance with that expected from the F1 genotype.

    Notes: Synthetic lines of Brassica napus were derived by combining the genomes of B. atlantica and B. oleracea var. alboglabra, which were respectively resistant and susceptible to foliar infection by Leptosphaeria maculans, with a susceptible line of B. rapa. Resistance was expressed in the synthetic lines containing the genome of B. atlantica. The high levels of alkenyl glucosinolates which occur in leaves of B. atlantica, and which have been implicated in disease resistance, were also expressed within the synthetic lines, although the dominant glucosinolate had changed from sinigrin to glucobrassicanapin. Disease resistance and glucosinolate profiles did not co-segregate in F2 progeny from crosses between the synthetic lines.

    Notes: Six accessions belonging to four subspecies of Brassica rapa, including three accessions of B. rapa subsp. sylvestris, were crossed with B. oleracea subsp. alboglabra in order to develop a series of synthetic B. napus lines with a common C genome but contrasting A genomes. Different A genomes had significant effects on the efficiency of B. napus resynthesis and the sexual compatibility of the synthetic lines with oilseed rape cultivars. The synthetic lines were used to investigate the effect of A genome substitution on the resistance of B. napus to infection by Leptosphaeria maculans, and to explore the potential for the use of wild forms of B. rapa in oilseed rape breeding programmes. Synthetic lines derived from two wild accessions of B. rapa, and their F1 hybrids with oilseed rape cultivars, expressed high levels of resistance to L. maculans in glasshouse experiments. One of these lines also expressed high levels of resistance in field experiments in England and Australia when exposed to a genetically diverse pathogen population. All other synthetic lines and cultivars were highly susceptible in both glasshouse and field experiments. F1 hybrids between oilseed rape cultivars and synthetic lines derived from B. rapa subsp. chinensis were significantly more susceptible than either parent.

    Notes: The inheritance of aliphatic glucosinolates was studied in crosses between synthetic B. napus lines and oilseed rape cultivars. Six unlinked loci are described which determine the aliphatic glucosinolate profile of B. napus. One locus regulates the presence or absence of propyl glucosinolates, while another regulates the expression of pentyl glucosinolates. Two loci regulate the removal of the terminal H3CS-group from the amino acid derivative to produce alkenyl glucosinolates as opposed to methylthioalkyl and methylsulphinylalkyl glucosinolates, regardless of the length of the alkyl chain. Likewise, another two loci regulate the hydroxylation of both butenyl and pentenyl glucosinolates. The functional alleles at one of the hydroxylation loci results in significantly more hydroxylation than those at the other locus. The large number of aliphatic glucosinolates which have been described in Brassica thus results from an interaction between genes which regulate side chain elongation and genes which modify the structure of the side chain, regardless of its length. The implications of this study for the biosynthesis of aliphatic glucosinolates, the origin of B. napus and the potential to manipulate the leaf and seed glucosinolate profile of oilseed rape are discussed.

    Notes: Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers were used to determine genetic diversity and population structure of Pyrenopeziza brassicae, the causal agent of light leaf spot of Brassica spp. Fungal isolates were sampled from six regions in the UK, one region in Germany and one region in France. A high level of genetic diversity was found (HT = 58%), with most variation attributed to within regions (HS = 43%), which suggests that sexual reproduction is frequent. FST values suggested significant population differentiation between England and the continent, but not between Scotland and England and Scotland and the continent. Overall, a moderate but significant level of regional differentiation was found (FST = 16 ± 4.0). There was no correlation between FST values and distance, indicating that long-distance dispersal by natural factors does not occur at high frequencies. However, the lack of differentiation among populations from Aberdeen, Winchester and Cambridge suggests that seed transmission or other artificial methods of dispersal may be important.

    Notes: The hypothesis that enhancing the level of glucosinolates in leaves of oilseed rape would increase resistance to two fungal pathogens was tested. Thirty-three Brassica napus lines with variable leaf glucosinolate contents were assessed for susceptibility to infection by Leptosphaeria maculans and Alternaria spp. under field conditions. The data clearly showed that there was not a simple positive relation between glucosinolate content and resistance, and that the hypothesis can be refuted. The level of Alternaria infection of both leaves and pods was positively correlated with glucosinolate content, while for L. maculans there was no significant relationship between the two variables. It is suggested that these pathogens have become specialists on glucosinolate-containing taxa in an analogous way to insect herbivores.

    Notes: Abstract This study investigates the behavioural and neural mechanisms involved in the oviposition behaviour of the turnip root fly,Delia floralis (Fallen). Behavioural studies showed that glucosinolates modulated the oviposition behaviour of the flies on artificial leaves as well as the number of eggs laid in the soil at the base of these leaves. Electrophysiological responses to glucosinolates were obtained from type A and type D sensilla on the prothoracic and mesothoracic tarsi, as well as from the long contact sensilla on the labellum. The neural responses from these sensilla were positively correlated with the oviposition behaviour of the flies and with the number of eggs laid. Of the eleven glucosinolates tested in the behavioural and electrophysiological tests, the flies were most responsive to glucobrassicanapin, gluconapin and glucobrassicin. The type D tarsal sensilla were more responsive to the glucosinolates than either the type A tarsal sensilla or the labellar sensilla. The structure-activity investigations showed that slight modifications to the chemical composition of the glucosinolates resulted in changes in neural activity.
