Selection against the bracting defect of cauliflower
Tóm tắt
The appearance of bracts through the surface of the cauliflower curd had a heritability estimate of 0.73 ± 0.10 based on the regression of progeny on parent when grown under field conditions. When curds were taken from field grown plants and aseptically cultured, their bracting characteristics were enhanced. It is advocated that a two-tier system of selection, firstly in the field and then in culture, would increase the likelihood of breeding bract free cauliflowers.
