Increasing genetic variability in oilseed rape (Brassica napus) - Genotypes and phenotypes of oilseed rape transformed by wild type Agrobacterium rhizogenes.
Brassica napus (oilseed rape) is a major oil crop worldwide. Due to the short domestication period of oilseed rape the genetic variability is limited compared to other crops. Transfer of rol and aux genes from Agrobacterium rhizogenes is used in horticulture to increase genetic variability. In the current study, we explore transformation by A. rhizogenes as a biotechnological approach in breeding for more branched and shorter oilseed rape. In the 2nd generation of transformed oilseed rape, branch numbers increased significantly by 49% from 7.7 ± 0.4 to 11.5 ± 1.9 when comparing rol+/aux+ plants with WT. Simultaneously, the apical height of plants was reduced by 25% from 81.3 ± 1.9 cm to 62.4 ± 6.7 cm in rol+/aux+ plants at the onset of flowering. Reproductive parameters affecting yield as seed size and number were negatively affected in rol+/aux+ plants. Interestingly, oil composition was changed in rol+/aux+ seeds. Oleic acid (ω9) contents were reduced by more than 3% whereas α-linolenic acid (ω6) increased by more than 25% in mature seeds. To obtain shorter and more branched breeding material of oilseed rape we suggest crossing plants with the rol+/aux+ genotype back into the parental breeding line. This could reduce the negative impact of rol+/aux+ on yield.
