The Brassicaceae are targets for DNA manipulation to modify oil content and composition. However, any strategy for creating novel products using genetic modification or traditional breeding must take into account the potential for hybridization with other Brassica species, many of which are important sources of edible oils. In this study we have tested Brassica carinata, a possible target for oil modification, to establish whether it can cross with other Brassica species and related genera, and we have developed molecular DNA assays to confirm hybridization.
芸薹属植物是用于改变油脂含量和组成的 DNA 操作的目标。然而，使用遗传修饰或传统育种创造新产品的任何策略都必须考虑与其他芸薹属物种杂交的可能性，其中许多物种是食用油的重要来源。在这项研究中，我们已经测试了可能用于油脂改良的芸薹属黑芥，以确定它是否可以与其他芸薹属物种和相关属杂交，并开发了分子 DNA 检测方法来确认杂交。
