| Summary: | Cytogenetic research of sunflower and rapeseed has a century long tradition. Chromosome number and morphology were studied at first in species from the Helianthus and Brassica genera, and than their cytotaxonomy and phylogenesis. Cytogenetic research facilitated gene transfer from wild into cultivated species, in vitro plant growing, understanding and usage of cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS), fertility restoration, etc. This paper describes various research aspects used in the cytogenetic laboratory of Institute of Field and Vegetable Crops, Novi Sad, the results of which were used in sunflower and rapeseed breeding. |
