Table 1.
Response of three seed lots from Brassica oleracea cultivars and one double haploid line from the AGDH population, to standard growth conditions (control) or after induction by treating the seeds with low temperature for 10 days on moist filter paper at 0–1°C.
| Seed lot number | B. oleracea type | Seedlings obtained |
Frequency blind plants |
||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Control | Induced | Control | Induced | ||
| 1645 | Green cabbage (Stanton F1) | 94% | 75% | 0% | 63% |
| 2105 | Kohlrabi | 92% | 85% | 0% | 80% |
| 2110 | Broccoli | 96% | 79% | 8% | 55% |
| 2518 | AG 1012(DH line) | 89% | 79% | 0% | 29% |
Per seed lot 53 seeds were used. After the pre-incubation, the seeds were sown in coco peat. Not all seeds resulted in seedlings, mostly because of germination failure. The frequency of blind plants was analyzed 3 weeks after transfer.
