  • BRASSICA OLERACEA PLANTS WITH DOWNY MILDEW RESISTANT CURDS OR HEADS
    Publication number: 20190191656
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides Brassica oleracea plants having curds or heads exhibiting increased resistance to downy mildew. Such plants may comprise novel introgressed genomic regions associated with disease resistance from Brassica oleracea MYCOCLP. In certain aspects, compositions, including novel polymorphic markers and methods for producing, breeding, identifying, and selecting plants or germplasm with a disease resistance phenotype are provided.

  • plants with improved nutritional value
    Patent number: 9617554
    Abstract: 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.
    Type: Grant
