Studies in F1 and F2 of crosses between winter and summer turnip rape

In the present study four hybrids between winter and summer turnip rape are compared with each other and with their parents. In all crosses the father was the same summer turnip rape, namely Mette. F1 and F2 of the hybrids were intermediate as regards their development in comparison with the parents...

description In the present study four hybrids between winter and summer turnip rape are compared with each other and with their parents. In all crosses the father was the same summer turnip rape, namely Mette. F1 and F2 of the hybrids were intermediate as regards their development in comparison with the parents. About three-fourths of the F1 plants of the cross Rapido X Mette, one half of F1 of the crosses Gruber X Mette and Sprengel X Mette, and only a small part of the crosses Storrybs X Mette gave seed yields. The seed yield per plant of the F1-hybrids was larger than that of the summer turnip rape Mette. The seed weight per silique and the mean seed weight were considerably higher in F2 of all the hybrids than in the summer turnip rape Mette. The green fodder production of the hybrids can be expected to be large. The hybrids seem to be usable in plant breeding work.
