Black rot caused by  Xanthomonas campestris  pv.  campestris  ( Xcc ) is a very important disease of cauliflower ( Brassica oleracea botrytis  group) resulting into 10–50% yield losses every year. Since there is a dearth of availability of resistance to black rot disease in  B. oleracea  (C genome), therefore exploration of A and B genomes was inevitable as they have been reported to be potential reservoirs of gene(s) for resistance to black rot. To utilize these sources, interspecific hybrid and backcross progeny (B 1 ) were generated between cauliflower “Pusa Sharad” and Ethiopian mustard “NPC-9” employing  in vitro  embryo rescue technique. Direct ovule culture method was better than siliqua culture under different temperature regime periods. Hybridity testing of F 1  inter-specific plants was carried out using co-dominant SSR marker and  Brassica  B and C genome-specific (DB and DC) primers. Meiosis in the di-genomic (BCC) interspecific hybrid of  B. oleracea botrytis  group (2 n  = 18, CC) ×  B. carinata  (2 n  = 4x = 34, BBCC) was higly disorganized and cytological analysis of pollen mother cells revealed chromosomes 2 n  = 26 at metaphase-I. Fertile giant pollen grain formation was observed frequently in interspecific F 1  hybrid and BC 1  plants. The F 1  inter-specific plants were found to be resistant to  Xcc  race 1. Segregation distortion was observed in BC 1  generation for black rot resistance and different morphological traits. The At1g70610 marker analysis confirmed successful introgression of black rot resistance in interspecific BC 1  population. This effort will go a long way in pyramiding gene(s) for resistance against black rot in Cole crops, especially cauliflower and cabbage for developing durable resistance, thus minimize dependency on bactericides.
