Quantitative Trait Locus Mapping of Resistance to Turnip Yellows Virus in Brassica rapa and Brassica oleracea and Introgression of These Resistances by Resynthesis Into Allotetraploid Plants for Deployment in Brassica napus.

ABSTRACT: Turnip yellows virus (TuYV) is aphid-transmitted and causes considerable yield losses in oilseed rape (OSR, Brassica napus, genome: AACC) and vegetable brassicas. Insecticide control of the aphid vector is limited due to insecticide resistance and the banning of the most effective active ingredients in the EU. There is only one source of TuYV resistance in current commercial OSR varieties, which has been mapped to a single dominant quantitative trait locus (QTL) on chromosome A04. We report the identification, characterisation, and mapping of TuYV resistance in the diploid progenitor species of OSR, Brassica rapa (genome: AA), and Brassica oleracea (genome: CC). Phenotyping of F₁ populations, produced from within-species crosses between resistant and suscept
