Gargantua
|
|
 |
During the course of
growing our B. rapa var. R-0-18 mutant population, a
spectacular plant appeared in one of the pots. Due to
its massive physique we have named it Gargantua based on
the character by Francois Rabelais.
Gargantua
is interesting to us because of its difference to
R-o-18, and we expect to be able to map several
domestication - related traits in an F2 population
between R-o-18 and Gargantua. This population is
currently under development.
|
We do,
however, not know where Gargantua came from, so if any
of you Brassica experts see these pictures and recognise
this variety, we would be grateful if you could contact
us (lars.ostergaard@bbsrc.ac.uk).
