GENETIC MARKERS FOR MYB28

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide the identification of molecular markers tightly linked with a transcription factor Myb28 locus conferring increased glucosinolate levels, and methods for producing Cruciferous vegetable plants with increased glucosinolate levels.SOLUTION: The invention comprises obtaining a sample of nucleic acids from a Cruciferous vegetable plant with an increased glucosinolate level or a portion thereof and detecting in the nucleic acids a polymorphism at the Myb28 locus that is genetically linked to an increased glucosinolate level. A primer or probe that amplifies and/or hybridizes to a polymorphism present in a specific sequence of the plant is used. The invention comprises crossing a progeny plant with itself or a third plant to produce a progeny plant of a subsequent generation.
