A complete set of monosomic alien addition lines (AnAnCnCn + Bj1–8, 2n = 39) of B subgenome derived from Brassica juncea in B. napus enhancing the genetic stock of B. napus was developed and comprehensively analyzed.

Abstract

Monosomic alien addition lines (MAALs), in which an alien chromosome from a related species is introduced into the genome of the recipient plant, serve as valuable resources for crop genetic analysis and breeding. In this study, we developed a complete set of MAALs for the B subgenome of Brassica juncea (AjAjBjBj, 2n = 36) in the background of B. napus (AnAnCnCn, 2n = 38) through continuous backcrossing from BC1 to BC4 using B. napus and an octoploid progenitor (AABBCCRR, 2n = 72). Eight distinct MAALs (AnAnCnCn + Bj1–8, 2n = 39), each carrying a different B subgenome chromosome added to the B. napus genome, were identified by PCR amplification of B chromosome-specific primers and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Morphologically, most MAALs show distinct differences from one another and exhibit varying degrees of phenotypic divergence compared to the parental B. napus, such as purple seedling leaves in AACC-B5 and a higher seed number per silique in AACC-B7. Moreover, extensive homoeologous exchange (HE) was detected in MAALs. Bivalent pairing involving the alien chromosome was observed in 20% (AACC-B6) to 42% (AACC-B2) of pollen mother cells (PMCs), and the pairing rates between the alien B chromosome and C genome chromosomes were significantly higher than those between the alien B and A genome chromosomes. Additionally, B chromosomes exhibited varying effects on A-C chromosome pairing in different addition lines, with pairing frequencies ranging from 0.73 (AACC-B8) to 1.68 (AACC-B1) for A-C chromosome associations. Transmission rates of the added B chromosomes via ovules were significantly higher than those via pollen, indicating preferential transmission through female gametes. This MAAL collection provides valuable genetic stock for analyzing B subgenome structure, establishes a foundation for studying gene interactions among the A, B, and C genomes, and offers novel germplasm resources for B. napus practical breeding.
