Siemens, J. (Institute of Biology and Applied Genetics, Berlin (Germany))
The review of the possibilities to use interspecific hybridisation between Brassica napus and some wild species in the family of Brassicaceae for introduction of resistance to the important fungal pathogens is presented. A large collection of wild relatives as resources of resistance to Leptosphaeria maculans, Alternaria brassicola, A. raphani and Plasmodiophora brassicae has been screened. Successful hybridisation with Brassica napus has been achieved using Brassica elongata, B. fructiculosa, B. souliei, Diplotaxis tenuifolia, Hirschfeldia incana, Coincya monensis and Sinapis arvensis.
