In 2011 and 2018, novel allohexaploids (AABBCC) located at the "center" of the triangle of U were created by different means, [9] [10] [11] for example by crossing B. rapa (AA) with B. carinata (BBCC), or B. nigra (BB) with B. napus (AACC), or B. oleracea (CC) with B. juncea (AABB), followed by chromosome duplication of the triploid (ABC ...
