“…These conclusions do not agree with some reports (Detjen, 1926;Horovitz and Perlasca, 1954;Walkof, 1963;Wellensiek, 1960) that annual flowering is a monogenic char acter in B. oleracea. Each of these reports involved annual mutants within biennial cab bage (Capitata Group) or brussels sprouts (Gemmifera Group) and thus probably in volved less genetic diversity for maturity and vernalization requirement than our crosses between horticultural groups.…”

Segregation for annual vs. biennial flowering habit was observed in F2 progenies from crosses of early and late-maturing broccoli (Brassica oleracea L. Italica Group) inbred lines with cabbage (B. oleracea L. Capitata Group), kohlrabi (B. oleracea L. Gongyloides Group), collards (B. oleracea L. Acephala Group), kale (B. oleracea L. Acephala Group), and brussels sprouts (B. oleracea L. Gemmifera Group). F, progenies were usually completely annual. F2 progenies from crosses involving late broccoli contained two to five times as many biennials as F2 progenies from early broccoli crosses. Maturity factors carried by the biennial parents also appeared to affect expression of flowering habit. Annual habit is dominant over biennial and is controlled by several major genes with a strong effect of modifiers from both the annual and biennial parent. Time of heading of annual plants in F2 progenies appeared to be controlled by quantitative, mainly additive, factors. Distribution of heading dates for the F1 and annual broccoli parents showed a large environmental or cultural effect. It appears that the biennial parents, especially brussels sprouts and collards, contributed strong factors for late maturity.

“…The annual nature of F1 plants in cabbage x broccoli and kale x broccoli crosses was reported by Yeager (1943). Dominance of annual habit has been reported in mutant forms of cabbage (Detjen, 1926;Horovitz and Perlasca, 1954;Walkof, 1963) and brussels sprouts (Wellensiek, 1960).…”
