A broccoli plant characterized in having an exerted head having a crown higher than the leaf canopy and a harvestable head of at least about 200 grams when planted at a density of 40,000 plants per hectare, where the harvestable head comprises the top 25 centimeters of said stalk.

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.

One embodiment relates to seed and plants of inbred broccoli lines BP-2. Another embodiment relates to the plants, seeds and tissue cultures of inbred broccoli lines BP-2, 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.

The present invention includes cauliflowers with enhanced whiteness and methods for obtaining such cauliflowers. The present invention also provides reagents that can be used in methods for obtaining such cauliflowers.
