COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR THE DETECTION OF A CHROMOSOMAL TRANSLOCATION IN BRASSICA NAPUS

摘要

Provided are compositions and methods for the detection of a chromosomal location in Brassica napus. This disclosure is generally related to the field of plant molecular biology, and in particular embodiments, to the field of detecting a chromosomal translocation within plants. In certain embodiments, the chromosomal translocation occurs between the N7 and N16 chromosomes of Brassicanapus. In other embodiments, the chromosomal translocation is a homoeologous chromosomal reciprocal translocation. Accordingly, this disclosure provides compositions and methods for the identification, detection and utilization of such a chromosomal translocation.
