Popis: Qualitative and quantitative studies show that diploid plants produced by anther culture (AC) from a double cross population of Brussels sprouts have arisen from spontaneously doubled haploid cells. The mean performance and distribution of lines produced by AC is compared to an equivalent array of inbred lines produced by single seed descent (SSD). There was no evidence of any difference in vigour between the AC and SSD samples. The tests are sufficiently sensitive to establish (with a 90 per cent confidence) that any true difference between the means, for vigour related traits, must be less than 15 per cent of the mean performance of SSD material. Additional evidence identifies genetic segregation for stability to micro-environmental factors within both the AC and SSD lines.
