Abstract

Hirschfeldia Moench is a small genus under constant taxonomical discussion. Currently, all plants in the genus are regarded mostly as weeds of no economic importance or as plants with a potential use in phytoremediation. Intergeneric hybrids point to the possibility of introgression from Hirschfeldia incana into crop plants. Successful hybridizations with B. napus have been achieved using H. incana lines resistant to Leptosphaeria maculans. The hybrids showed resistance to L. maculans and have been successfully backcrossed to B. napus.

Furthermore, H. incana are described as pseudometallophytes due to the ability of the species to grow in highly contaminated soils. The potential usefulness of these traits for phytoremediation is under study, but the resistance to abiotic stress has yet to be analyzed genetically.
