Brassica napus (genome aacc), a natural allotetraploid derived from hybridization between B. oleracea L.(genome cc) and B. rapa L. (genome aa), was resynthesized by somatic and sexual hybridization. Seventy-two interspecific somatic (R0) hybrids and 27 sexual (F1) hybrids were produced from the same parent plants. R0 and F1 hybrids displayed morphology that was intermediate to the species parents, but B. rapa characteristics tended to predominate. R0 hybrids with nuclear DNA content equivalent to natural B. napus were uniform for nuclear-encoded traits, whereas allotetraploid F1 hybrids were variable for traits such as morphology, flower color, and seed production. Chloroplast restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) showed unequal segregation in the R0 population favoring the chloroplasts of B. rapa; two of the 58 R0 hybrids tested had only the B. oleracea marker and 10 contained markers of both parents. Mitochondrial RFLPs showed a similar bias among the 56 R0 hybrids tested: only four plants showed B. oleracea markers exclusively, and the remaining plants were evenly distributed between having only B. rapa markers or having combinations from both species. In contrast, sexual hybrids displayed only maternal organelle markers.
