A yellow-seeded doubled haploid (DH) line no. 2127-17, derived from a resynthesized Brassica napus L., was crossed with two black-seeded Brassica cultivars ‘Quantum’ and ‘Sprint’ of spring type. The inheritance of seed colour was investigated in the F2, and BC1 populations of the two crosses and also in the DH population derived from the F1 of the cross ‘Quantum’× no. 2127-17. Seed colour analysis was performed with the colorimeter CR-300 (Minolta, Japan) together with a visual classification system. The immediate F1 seeds of the reciprocals in the two crosses had the same colour as the self-pollinated seeds of the respective black- and yellow-seeded female parents, indicating the maternal control of seed colour. The F1 plants produced yellow-brown seeds that were darker in colour than the seeds of no. 2127-17, indicating the partial dominance of yellow seed over black. In the segregating BC1 progenies of the two crosses, the frequencies of the black- and yellow-seeded plants fit well with a 1 : 1 ratio. In the cross with ‘Quantum’, the frequencies of yellow-seeded and black-seeded plants fit with a 13 : 3 ratio in the F2 progeny, and with a 3 : 1 ratio in the DH progeny. However, a 49 : 15 segregation ratio was observed for the yellow-seeded and black-seeded plants in the F2 progeny of the cross with ‘Sprint’. It was postulated from these results that seed colour was controlled by three pairs of genes. A dominant yellow-seeded gene (Y) was identified in no. 2127-17 that had epistatic effects on the two independent dominant black-seeded genes (B and C), thereby inhibiting the biosynthesis of seed coat pigments.
