    In order to study the function of rape seed-specific Napin promoter in mustard〔Brassica juncea（L.）Czern. et Coss.〕，Napin promoter was fused to the 5′-upstream of an Enhanced Green Fluorescent Protein（EGFP）reporter gene and introduced into mustard by Agrobacterium-mediated transformation．The expression of EGFP in transgenic mustard seeds and their T1 seedlings showed that EGFP gene was expressed in seed coat，cotyledon and radicle of seeds and that the fluorescent intensity in all there parts were strengthened gradually with transgenic seed maturation．And the fluorescent intensity were weaken gradually in root，cotyledon and hypocotyl with the seed germination．All these results indicated that the rape Napin promoter could initiate downstream gene expression in mustard specifically．

    Two cabbage（Brassica oleracea var. capitata L.）inbred lines differing in cold-tolerance were used to analyze the effect of CBF gene variation on cold-tolerance．Based on Arabidopsis CBF1 gene sequence and the scaffold information of cabbage genome，the full-length coding domain sequence of cabbage BoCBF1 and BoCBF2 genes were obtained．PCR products were sequenced directly to discover 4 single nucleotide polymorphisms （SNP）between the inbred lines 341 and 21-3 for BoCBF1 gene and 16 SNP and one insertion-deletion （InDel）for BoCBF2 gene．In order to rapidly and reliably detect the sequence variation of BoCBF1 and BoCBF2 genes，2 CAPS markers were successfully converted and named as BoCBF1-TaqαⅠ，BoCBF2-BstUⅠ．The CAPS markers were used to screen inbred lines 341，21-3 and their F1，F2 population．The analysis showed that the variation of 2 genes very significantly correlated with cold-tolerance，so the CAPS markers can be used for marker-assisted selection（MAS）in cabbage cold-tolerance breeding．

    In order to obtain molecular markers closely linked to the clubroot resistance gene in Chinese cabbage〔Brassica campestris L.ssp. pekinensis（Lour）Olsson〕，a segregating F2 population with 197 individuals was constructed by selfing of a F1 hybrid A00645，which is highly resistant to clubroot．Clubroot resistance tests and genetic analysis indicated that the inheritance of clubroot resistance in this material was controlled by a single dominant gene．Based on bulked segregating analysis（BSA）and InDel technique，a total of 720 pairs of InDel primers were screened between the resistant and susceptible bulks constructed in F2 population．After further tests among F2 individuals and linkage analysis by JoinMap4.0，9 InDel markers linked to clubroot resistance gene were obtained．The flanking markers BrID90269 and BrID11683 closely linked to the resistance gene were located on each side，at genetic distances of 2.0 cM and 2.5 cM，respectively．This clubroot resistance gene was mapped on Scaffold10，which is in linkage group A8 of Chinese cabbage．

    In order to obtain molecular marker of resistant gene Ty-1 in tomato（Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.），3 resistant homozygous lines（Ty-1/Ty-1）and 3 homozygous susceptible lines（ty-1/ty-1）were amplified by specific primer．Both resistant and susceptible lines produced about 400 bp PCR fragment．After digestion with enzyme Rsa I，susceptible genotypes and heterozygous resistant genotypes could produce fragment about 350，50 bp and 400，350，50 bp，respectively．While the resistant genotypes still presented 400 bp fragment．This marker could distinguish resistant and susceptible lines，was a co-dominant marker tightly linked to Ty-1 gene．33 F1 hybrids were detected using this marker，and the results showed that 20 hybrids contained Ty-1 resistant gene and 13 hybrids did not．This marker was also used to detect 24 important inbred lines and all of them did not contain Ty-1 gene．The repeated verification proved that Ty-1 resistant gene could be identified by this marker．
