The RFLP and AFLP techniques are laborious and expensive and therefore of limited use for marker-assisted selection, demanding a high throughput of samples in a short time. But marker-assisted selection is most useful for traits which are hard to score on single plants and influenced by environmental factors. Four RFLP and three AFLP markers have been found to be linked to genes of the B-genome of Brassica mediating resistance against Phoma lingam in oilseed rape. One RFLP and one AFLP marker were converted into three PCR-based STS markers: one of dominant, as well as one of codominant inheritance separated in a standard agarose gel and a third one of codominant inheritance to be separated in a polyacrylamide gel on an automated sequencer. As expected, the STS markers mapped at the same position as the original RFLP and AFLP markers. The STS markers are efficient in marker-assisted back-cross programs of the resistant B-genome/Brassica napus recombinant lines with most of the tested oilseed rape varieties and breeding lines. More than 90% of the tested oilseed rape varieties and breeding lines exhibited no resistance marker alleles. The mapping results obtained with the markers, as well as comparative sequencing of the marker alleles, indicate synteny and homology between the B-genome resistance gene donors and B. napus in the region of the resistance genes. The location of the resistance genes in the B-genome/B. napus recombinant lines is most likely on the A genome. Thus the transfer of the B-genome resistance genes into Brassica campestris is also possible.
