Title: Glucosinolates and Resistance to <i>Leptosphaeria maculans</i> in Wild and Cultivated Brassica Species
Abstract: Abstract Synthetic lines of Brassica napus were derived by combining the genomes of B. atlantica and B. oleracea var. alboglabra , which were respectively resistant and susceptible to foliar infection by Leptosphaeria maculans , with a susceptible line of B. rapa. Resistance was expressed in the synthetic lines containing the genome of B. atlantica. The high levels of alkenyl glucosinolates which occur in leaves of B. atlantica , and which have been implicated in disease resistance, were also expressed within the synthetic lines, although the dominant glucosinolate had changed from sinigrin to glucobrassicanapin. Disease resistance and glucosinolate profiles did not co‐segregate in F 2 progeny from crosses between the synthetic lines.
