Abstract

By using of the method of somatic hybridization with double inactivation of hypocotyl protoplasts of B. napus and mesophyll protoplasts of B. nigra were obtained 3 clones of hybrid plants. Genetic novelity of regenerants was shown by study of morphology, physiology, isozymes (esterase, amylase, aspartataminotransferase), chloroplast DNAs. Obtained hybrid plants may be treated by practical selection.
