<i>Brassica oleracea </i>plants with improved nutritional value

摘要

The invention provides compositions and methods relating to the elevation of glucoraphanin compared to standard Brassica oleracea varieties. The invention also relates to the production of hybrid varieties having desired glucosinolate contents. The invention further provides plants, plant parts, and seeds comprising such traits and comprising a Myb28 allele from Brassica villosa that is not genetically linked to an ELONG allele from Brassica villosa.

主权项

1. A Brassica oleracea plant comprising a chromosomal segment that comprises a Myb28 allele from Brassica villosa and lacking an ELONG allele from Brassica villosa genetically linked to said Myb28 allele, wherein the segment confers elevated glucosinolates relative to a Brassica oleracea plant lacking the Myb28 allele, wherein a sample of seed comprising the chromosomal segment was deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-13165.
