A new cultivar of hybrid Brassica, Purple Varie, characterized by its vareigated foliage with green centers and pink and yellow-green margins and pink veins and its foliage that is slightly concave from mid rib with very curly margins.

Novel Brassica rapa var. nipposinica, such as Brassica rapa var. nipposinica designated MAZUNTE is disclosed. In some embodiments, the invention relates to the seeds of Brassica rapa var. nipposinica MAZUNTE, to the plants and plant parts of Brassica rapa var. nipposinica MAZUNTE, and to methods for producing a Brassica rapa var. nipposinica plant by crossing the Brassica rapa var. nipposinica MAZUNTE with itself or another Brassica rapa var. nipposinica plant. The invention further relates to methods for producing other Brassica rapa var. nipposinica plants derived from the Brassica rapa var. nipposinica MAZUNTE.

The present invention relates to a novel Brassica juncea varieties designated PWRG-1, PWRG-2, and PWSGC, which have a reduced pungent flavor and/or odor traits. The invention provides seeds of the varieties PWRG-1, PWRG-2, and PWSGC, plants and parts thereof of the varieties, a tissue culture derived from the varieties, hybrids produced from varieties, and lines derived from varieties, as well as genetically modified forms of the foregoing plants and tissue culture. Also provided are methods of producing PWRG-1, PWRG-2, and PWSGC plants, hybrid plants, and lines derived from varieties PWRG-1, PWRG-2, and PWSGC. In addition, products produced from the plants of the present invention are provided.

The present invention relates to non-transgenic and transgenic plants, preferably crop plants, having biological activity of a haploid inducer and comprising a polynucleotide which comprises a nucleotide sequence encoding a centromer histone H3 (CENH3) protein, wherein the polynucleotide comprises at least one mutation causing an alteration of the amino acid sequence of the CENH3 protein, and to a part of the part. Further, the invention provides methods of generating the inducer plants, methods of generating haploid and double haploid plants using the inducer plants as well as methods of facilitating cytoplasm exchange.

The invention provides seeds and plants of broccoli hybrid SVBL4467, broccoli line BRM-8V21-4060SI, or broccoli line BRM-8V20-4058SI. The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds and tissue cultures of broccoli hybrid SVBL4467, broccoli line BRM-8V21-4060SI, or broccoli line BRM-8V20-4058SI and to methods for producing a broccoli plant produced by crossing such plants with themselves or with another plant, such as a broccoli plant of another genotype. The invention further relates to seeds and plants produced by such crossing. The invention further relates to plants, seeds, and tissue cultures of broccoli hybrid SVBL4467, broccoli line BRM-8V21-4060SI, or broccoli line BRM-8V20-4058SI comprising introduced beneficial or desirable traits.

The present disclosure provides broccoli plants (Brassica oleracea var. italica) exhibiting a novel purple phenotype. Such plants may comprise novel introgressed genomic regions associated with the purple phenotype from Brassica oleracea var. capitata f. rubra. In certain aspects, compositions, including novel polymorphic markers and methods for producing, breeding, identifying, and selecting plants or germplasm with a purple phenotype are provided.

One embodiment relates to seed and plants of inbred broccoli line BP-1. Another embodiment relates to the plants, seeds and tissue cultures of inbred broccoli lines BP-1, and to methods for producing a broccoli plant produced by crossing such plants with themselves, with another broccoli plant, such as a plant of another genotype, or with vegetatively propagating said plant. Another embodiment further relates to seeds and plants produced by such crossing. Further embodiments relate to parts of such plants, including the fruit and gametes of such plants.
