In order to obtain the plants with altered myrosinase activity, the transformation via Agrobacterium tumefaciens was performed. The myrosinase genes TGG1 or TGG2 from Arabidopsis thaliana under the control of enhanced 35S promoter and phosphotranspherase neomycin II (NPTII) as the selectable marker were introduced into Arabidopsis. The presence and expression of NPTII gene in selected plants was confirmed by ELISA and PCR analysis. The integration of T-DNA with TGG1 or TGG2 gene caused differentiated effects from a multi-fold increase of myrosinase activity to its lack. No morphological differences were observed between transgenic and control plants. All the plants were fertile and produced seeds. The majority of the plants with additional copy (copies) of TGG1 showed increased enzyme activity. Conversely, most of the plants with insertion of additional copy (copies) of TGG2 demonstrated decreased myrosinase activity. Transgenic plants may be used in further studies explaining the physiological role of glucosinolates in plant-pest interaction and the importance of the myrosinase-glucosinolates system in growth and development.

With the improvement of seed quality, Brassica rapa oilseed germplasm went through 2 major breeding bottlenecks during the introgression of genes for zero erucic acid content and low glucosinolate content, respectively. This study investigates the impact of these bottlenecks on the genetic diversity in European winter B. rapa by comparing 3 open-pollinated cultivars, each representing a different breeding period. Diversity was estimated on 32 plants per cultivar, with 16 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers covering each of the B. rapa linkage groups. There was no significant loss of genetic diversity over the 3 cultivars as indicated by allele number (ranging from 59 to 55), mean allele number (from 3.68 to 3.50), Shannon information index (from 0.94 to 0.87) and expected heterozygosity (from 0.53 to 0.48). About 83% of the total variation was attributed to within-cultivar variation, and the remaining 17% to between-cultivar variation by analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA). Individual plants were separated into the 3 cultivars by principal coordinate analysis (PCoA). In conclusion, genetic diversity within cultivars was high and quality breeding in B. rapa did not significantly reduce the genetic diversity of B. rapa winter cultivars, so there is no risk of decline in performance due to quality improvement.
