RESUMO
Crosses between Ogura CMS Brassica campestris var. purpuraria (AA, 2n = 20) and Raphanus sativus (RR, 2n = 18) were made and many intergeneric hybrids were produced. The F1 seedlings did not show chlorosis at low temperature. When red Raphanus sativus varieties were used as male parent, the leaf petiole and leaf vein of F1 plants were purple, and when white Raphanus sativus varieties were used as male parent, the leaf petiole and leaf vein of F1 plants were not purple. All the F1 plants had white flowers and normal honey glands. Male gametes of the F1 were highly sterile and female gametes of the F1 were partly fertile. Cytological studies indicated that chromosome number of the F1 was 2n = 19 as expected, the mean chromosome pairing pattern was 15.53 I + 1.34 II + 0.25 III + 0.01 IV. Most chromosomes exsistet as univalents, but there also exsisted some bivalents, trivalents and even tetravalents, suggesting that chromosome set A was partly homologous with chromosome set R.
