✦ Synopsis
The frequency of sesquidiploid hybrids amongst the progeny of single turnip (B. campestris) plants following their isolation, in insect cages, with single rape (B . napus) plants confirms that the self in compatibility system of the former is sufficient to ensure interspecific hybridisation without resorting to hand pollination . The sesquidiploids performed favourably in a small scale yield trial and their possible production as alternatives to true rape is discussed .
