Abstract
The proposal describes the use of marker-assisted breeding to develop a sophisticated set of genetic lines. These lines will be true-breeding (immortal genotypes) where different defined regions of the genome of one oilseed rape variety (Bienvenu) have been substituted into the uniform genetic background of another variety (Tapidor). The phenotypes of these substitution lines will be rigorously assessed to evaluate the influence on important production traits of the genes within each region. The isolation of defined segments of foreign genotype will allow the separate loci influencing traits under complex genetic control to be manipulated individually.
