Abstract

This project is developing germplasm previously identified in collaborative programmes involving the John Innes Centre, IACR-Long Ashton and Silsoe Research Institute. This work established the basics for a commercially directed development project to transfer pod shatter resistance into agronomically superior lines of oilseed rape. The project is putting into place the breeding materials and tools that breeders require to develop competitive lines showing the yield advantage, harvesting ease and reduced volunteer loads which will all result from superior seed retention in the pod. Genetic mapping with molecular markers and marker assisted technologies are being used to achieve the commercially directed objections.
