An estimated 10% of the total cultured area worldwide contract the disease. Syngenta has invested years of breeding to offer a high level of resistance in their Brassica varieties. Clubroot symptoms Clubroot is a soil borne fungal disease which attacks the roots of Brassica crops. It is considered as one of the most economically important diseases of cultivated crucifers. Roots affected by clubroot are swollen and distorted. The damage caused to the roots causes crops to be stunted and, in most cases, there is a reduction in yield. The pathogen survives in the soil for up to 15 years in the form of resting spores released from decayed galls. 9 CLUBROOT SOLUTIONS Syngenta’s solutions The potential of cultural practices to reduce crop losses due to clubroot are limited and chemical treatments to control the fungus are either banned, due to environmental regulations, or are not cost-effective. The best way to combat clubroot is through the breeding of resistant varieties. Syngenta has succeeded, after many years of breeding, to introduce a high level of resistance in varieties of cabbage (Chinese, White & Green), Brussels sprouts, broccoli and cauliflower. Syngenta will, over the coming years, be introducing the resistance across the Brassica range. We currently have the following varieties with Clubroot resistance: BRUSSELS BROCCOLI CABBAGE CAULIFLOWER SPROUTS Monclano Crispus Cordesa Clapton Cryptus Kilastor Clarify Kilaton Clarina Kilazol 10 BROCCOLI DISCOVER OUR VARIETIES 11 BRASSICA BROCCOLI BATORY NEW BENEFITS OF BATORY • Heavy heads • Good early and late NORMAL SOWING PROGRAMME KEY: Sow Plant Harvest FEB MAR APR MAY JUN JUL AUG SEP OCT NOV BEANY NEW BENEFITS OF BEANY • Early maturity • Good early and late • Uniform • Open habit making it good against head rot NORMAL SOWING PROGRAMME KEY: Sow Plant Harvest FEB MAR APR MAY JUN JUL AUG SEP OCT NOV BESTY NEW BENEFITS OF BESTY • Very good on less fertile land • Good vigour • Early maturing NORMAL SOWING PROGRAMME KEY: Sow Plant Harvest FEB MAR APR MAY JUN JUL AUG SEP OCT NOV KEY: Sow Plant Harvest Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov MONFLOR BATORY BESTY BEANY MONACO MONCLANO* MONRELLO VARIETY FIT OVERVIEW VARIETY * Clubroot Resistant 12 BRASSICA BROCCOLI 13 BRASSICA BROCCOLI BRASSICA Meet our expert...

  • December- Cabbage
    Harvest of the Month | Family Newsletter Cabbage abbage is a hardy vegetable that grows in vari- ous shades of green as well as red (purple). The shape of the cabbage head varies from round to flattened or pointed. Most varieties have smooth leaves, but Savoy cabbage has crinkly textured leaves. Usually, the leaves at the center of the head are eaten rather than the outer leaves. If purchased at a store, these outer leaves have usually been removed. Raw cabbage has a naturally peppery flavor. Did you know? Many vegetables evolved from the original wild cabbage including broccoli, brussels sprouts, cauliflower, collard greens, kale, and kohlrabi. There are at least 100 types of cabbage grown throughout the world. The most common types grown in the United States are Green, Red, and Savoy. The most common types of Chinese cabbage are Bok Choy and Napa cabbage. Cabbage is composed of 90% water. The inner leaves of cabbage are often lighter in color than the outer leaves because they are protected from sunlight by the surrounding leaves. Kimchee and sauerkraut are fermented products made from cabbage. Selection Handling Look for cabbage heads that are heavy for their size Remove the outer layer of leaves.

  • Breeding, Genetics and Models
    2 BREEDING, GENETICS AND MODELS The classic triangle of U (1935) (Fig. 1.2) shows the inter-relationships of brassicas based on their chromosome numbers and 2n genome descriptors. These species can be inter-crossed using embryo rescue, fusion and other methods. In addition, massive opportunities are emerging from studies of model brassicas such as thale cress (Arabidopsis thaliana) and Wisconsin Fast PlantsTM that identify genes and their products which can be applied in crop species. Further, some breeders are now working with the less well known species in Brassicaceae, such a Brassica carinata, to extract valuable genes for resistance to pathogens, pests and other economic characters. The Brassicaceae is one of the most flexible plant families in terms of interspecifc and intergenomic crosses. Rapid progress is being made in our understanding of their component genes, genomic interactions, protein products and resultant phenotypic characteristics, leading eventually to even wider and more diverse crosses. Concurrently, restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) and linkage maps are being made for most of the major species, and these have shown many common chromosome linkage groups occurring across these species. This is encouraging the research into the potential of single gene transfer into economic crops from the model types. GENOMIC CHARACTERS AND TAXONOMY The following six Brassica species, plus Raphanus sativus, radish 2n = 18, have been inter-crossed, with varying levels of difficulty requiring embryo culture or fusion to obtain hybrids: Brassica nigra Koch, black mustard, 2n = 16; Brassica carinata Braun, Ethiopian mustard, 2n = 34; Brassica juncea L. Coss, brown mustard, 2n = 36; Brassica napus, swede or rutabaga, rape or oilseed rape (canola) 2n = 38; Brassica rapa, turnip and Chinese cabbage, 2n = 20; and Brassica oleracea, cole crops, 2n = 18.

  • Greens Recipes
    GREENS RECIPES RECIPES FOR GREENS I am an artist who, after obtaining recipes from cookbooks and the Internet, cooks and eats his models. I don’t follow instructions literally as to quantities and cooking times, and make many substitutions. I also supplement recipes with seasonal items from my garden and from farmers markets. I have painted (and eaten) over 195 varieties of peppers and over 40 varieties of eggplant. As you will see from the paintings, some “greens” are purple, red, gold, or multi-hued although grouped under the single generic label “greens.” All can be purchased seasonally at farmers markets as seedlings or ready to eat. These hardy veggies are very forgiving in the kitchen; some can be left on the stove for hours. This makes them suitable to accompany miscellaneous bones sold as shanks, hocks, and jowls. For sharecroppers in the Southern United States, these were the only animal parts they could afford so they developed tasty recipes. You’ve probably seen animal bones displayed at the meat counter. Until you’ve tried cooking them, you won’t know how little meat can be pried loose even after hours on the burner. Many of them are used primarily for flavoring greens. The following recipes were taken from various sources and modified. I have tried each at least once. Some greens remained so bitter even after hours in the pot that I didn’t cook them a second time. Others were flavorful but required hours on the stove and yielded more leftovers than people wanted to eat. Spelling of the names varies from one recipe to another and many are sold under synonyms.

(2015): Selected fruits and vegetables: comparison of nutritional value and affordability. Czech J. Food Sci., 33: 242–246. We compared subgroups of fruit and vegetables which provide the best nutritional value per unit cost. For this purpose, nutrient adequacy score and nutrient density score, based on the content of vitamins A, C, E, folate, thiamine, riboflavin, calcium, iron, potassium and magnesium, were calculated and subsequently complemented by food prices. The study was focused on elderly people over 65 years. The nutrient density score for vegetables was found significantly higher than that for fruit (P < 0.001), which implies that vegetables provide a higher amount of nutrients per energy unit. The highest nutrient- to-price ratio was observed for carrot, savoy cabbage, head cabbage, pepper, kohlrabi, green peas, and potatoes. Our results can help consumers identify affordable nutrient-rich types of fruit and vegetables and maximise the nutrient-to-calorie ratio.

Myers Oregon State University Outcrossing Potential for Brassica Species and Implications for Vegetable Crucifer Seed Crops of Growing Oilseed Brassicas in the Willamette Valley James R. Myers Summary The oilseed mustards known as canola or rapeseed (Brassica napus and B. rapa) are the same species as some vegetable crucifers and are so closely related to others that interspecific and intergeneric crossing can occur. Intraspecific crosses (within the same species) readily occur among the following: • B. napus canola with rutabaga and Siberian kale • B. rapa canola with Chinese cabbage, Chinese mustard, pai-tsai, broccoli raab, and turnip Interspecific crosses (between different species) can occur among the following: • Occur readily: B. napus canola with Chinese cabbage, Chinese mustard, pai-tsai, broccoli raab, and turnip • Occur more rarely: B. napus or B. rapa canola with the B. oleracea cole crops (cabbage, kohlrabi, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, collards, and kale) Intergeneric crosses (between species of different genera) are possible with varying degrees of probability: • B. napus or B. rapa canola with wild and cultivated radish (Raphanus raphanis- trum and R.
