“…Diplotaxis erucoides used as a cytoplasmic resource in this study is phylogenetically close to Brassica cultivated species (Lysak, Koch, Pecinka, & Schubert, ; Pradhan, Prakash, Mukhopadhyay, & Pental, ; Quiros, Ochoa, & Douches, & Vyas, Prakash, & Shivanna, ). D. erucoides cytoplasm conferred CMS in B. juncea (Bhat, Vijayan, Dwivedi, & Prakash, ) and B. rapa (Peng et al., ; Wan et al., ). We have ever tackled to produce B. oleracea line carrying D. erucoides cytoplasm by means of intergeneric crossing between D. erucoides and B. oleracea , and successive backcrossing with B. oleracea .…”
