Interspecific alien addition lines have played significant roles in gene mapping, intergenomic gene transfer and chromosomal homoeological identification between closely related species. Selection of alien addition lines was conducted by karyotype analysis and morphological observation with the reference of parents. Triploid interspecies hybrid (AAC, 2n = 3x = 29) was obtained from Brassica campestris ssp. chinensis var. parachinensis Qinglu 9601 (tetraploid, AAAA, 2n = 4x = 40) x B. oleracea var. alboglabra Baihua 9705 (diploid, CC, 2n = 2x = 18) by immature hybrid embryo culture in vitro. Five different alien monosomic addition lines (AA + C2, AA + C3, AA + C4, AA + C6, AA + C7) were obtained from the backcross progenies of AAC x AA. Each alien monosomic addition line has some specific morphological characters. It is feasible to obtain alien addition lines from the progenies of AAC × AA by karyotype analysis and morphological observation based on the reference of parents

A set of trisomics of Chinese cabbage was used for determining the n-I-1 gamete transmission rate and locating the gene controlling 2n gamete formation on the corresponding chromosome. The results showed that the transmission rates of extra chromosomes in different trisomics varied from 0% to 15.38% by male gametes and from 0% to 17.39% by female gametes. Of the nine F2 populations derived from the hybridizations between each trisomic and Bp058 (2n gamete material), only Tri- 4xBp058 showed that the segregation ratio of plants without 2n gamete formation to plants with 2n gamete formation was 10.38:1, which fitted the expected segregation ratio of the trisomics (AAa) based on the 7.37% of n+l gamete transmission through female and 5.88% through male. In other populations the segregation ratios varied from 2.48:1 to 3.72:1, which fitted the expected 3:1 segregation ratio of the bisomics (Aa). These results suggested that the gene controlling 2n gamete formation in Chinese cabbage Bp058 was located on chromosome 4. Further trisomic analysis based on the chromosome segregation and the incomplete stochastic chromatid segregation indicated that the gene locus was tightly linked to the centromere.

The transmission rate of n + 1 gamete is an important parameter for the genetic analysis of trisomics. To correctly use the trisomics of the cabbage to carry out gene orientation and other genetic studies, the n + 1 gamete transmission rates by female parent and by male parent were determined. The results showed that the n + 1 gamete transmission rates were 15.28% for tri-1, 12.68% for tri-2, 12.31% for tri-3, 30.51% for tri-4, 22.81% for tri-5, 7.46% for tri-6, 5.36% for tri-7, 42.37% for tri-8, and 9.23% for tri-9 by female parent, and were 12.12% for tri-1, 12.33% for tri-2, 7.81% for tri-3, 4.76% for tri-4, 8.93% for tri-5, 10.94% for tri-6, 1.54% for tri-7, 2.94% for tri-8, and 13.04% for tri-9 by male parent. The main factors affecting the male n + 1 gamete formation and transmission were the rate of trivalent formation at prophase Ⅰ, the rate of 9-9-10-10 division at anaphase Ⅱ, and the pollen viability.
