Claims
- 1. A method of producing herbicide tolerance in Brassica juncea which comprises:
(a) hybridizing an herbicide tolerant Brassica napus plant and a Brassica juncea plant to produce hybrid plant material, and (b) selecting hybrid plant material that retains the morphological or genotypic characteristics of Brassica juncea and is tolerant to a level of herbicide which prevents or inhibits the growth of a wild-type Brassica juncea plant.
- 2. The method of claim 1 wherein the herbicide is an imidazolinone herbicide.
- 3. The method of claim 1 wherein the herbicide is a sulfonyl urea herbicide.
- 4. The method of claim 1 wherein the Brassica juncea is the female in the hybridization.
- 5. The method of claim 1 wherein the Brassica juncea is the male in the hybridization.
- 6. The method of claim 1 wherein the herbicide tolerance of the Brassica napus plant is not developed through transgenic means.
- 7. The method of claim 1 wherein the hybrid plant material is a full grown plant or its parts.
- 8. The method of claim 1 wherein the hybrid plant material is an immature plant or its parts.
- 9. The method of claim 1 wherein the hybrid plant material is a seed or its parts.
- 10. The method of claim 1 wherein the hybrid plant material is an immature seed or its parts.
- 11. A Brassica juncea plant tolerant to a level of herbicide that prevents or inhibits the growth of a wild-type Brassica juncea plant, the herbicide tolerant Brassica juncea plant developed by crossing a herbicide tolerant Brassica napus plant with a Brassica juncea plant.
- 12. The plant of claim 11 wherein the herbicide is an imidazolinone herbicide.
- 13. The plant of claim 11 wherein the herbicide is a sulfonyl urea herbicide.
- 14. The plant of claim 11, wherein the herbicide tolerant Brassica napus plant was developed by non-transgenic means.
- 15. The plant of claim 14 wherein the non-transgenic means is mutagenesis.
