An allohexaploidBrassicacrop (2n = AABBCC) does not exist naturally, but is of interest for its potential to combine useful traits found in the six cultivatedBrassicaspecies which share combinations of the A, B and C genomes with additional allelic heterosis. In this study, we aimed to produce 2n = AABBCC hybrids by crosses betweenB. junceaand a number ofBrassicaC genome species. We used ovule rescue to overcome hybridization barriers and different colchicine treatment methods to induce chromosome doubling of ABC hybrids to AABBCC allohexaploids, thus restoring fertility. Only the crossB. oleracea×B. junceawas successful, with six triploid hybrids produced from one genotype combination. Colchicine-containing regeneration media was unsuccessful in doubling chromosome number in these hybrids, but treatment of cuttings with 0.05 to 0.25% colchicine successfully produced ~ 200 S1allohexaploid seeds. The S1plants produced 7–84% viable pollen and set 0–390 seeds per plant, with 23–27 bivalents and 0–3 univalents during metaphase I of meiosis. Our results highlight the difficulties in working with the wild C genome species, but showed that our methods have utility for producing euploid, chromosome-doubled progeny in this cross combination. Further,Brassica oleracea×B. junceaallohexaploid hybrids may contain useful genetic factors for improved meiotic stability and fertility in allohexaploid germplasm pools.
