“…These results agree with Charron et al (2005) and could be related with temperature as it was already stated by Velasco et al (2007), who studied the glucosinolate concentration under different environments and development plant stages in kales. In a recent study (Padilla et al, 2007b), discussed the influence on sowing date on traits related to plant morphology and earliness in the same set of cabbage varieties used for our study, which could also explain the differences in glucosinolate concentrations between the two sowing seasons. In the autumn/winter season, varieties had a better flavour and were sweeter (Padilla et al, 2007b).…”

“…Varieties can be grown the whole year around, primarily in two growing seasons, Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter, with different effects on plant growth and chemical composition. Previous works have shown that nutritional quality as well as the yield of cabbage crops can be affected by date of planting, environmental conditions and length of growing seasons Wszelaki and Kleinhenz, 2003;Charron et al, 2005;Padilla et al, 2007b). reported the variation in glucosinolate content in kales and Tronchuda cabbages at different growing season grown in Portugal.…”

“…Local varieties were more vigorous than commercial ones, being MBG-BRS0366 and MBG-BRS0457 the most vigorous varieties (Table 4). Variety MBG-BRS0457 was also the best for early vigor in a previous study (Padilla et al 2007b).…”

Sixty varieties of kale (Brassica oleracea acephala group) from Galicia (northwestern Spain) were evaluated in two locations along with four commercial kale varieties. Data on 26 agronomic and morphological traits and five nutritional traits (crude fibre, acid detergent fibre, crude protein, calcium and potassium) were recorded. The objectives of this work were (i) to know the potential ability of kale as an horticultural crop, (ii) to assess the characteristics of local varieties of Galician kale in order to select those with the highest yield and a good adaptation to obtain improved varieties. In most traits, significant differences between locations were found, while varieties · location interaction was not significant for most of them. Significant differences were found among varieties and a high intravarietal variability was noticed in some traits. Galician kale germplasm displayed variability in the most important agronomic traits. They are characterized by their long cycles, their susceptibility to Lepidoptera pests, their good yield and adaptation to Galician conditions and their high calcium content. Four local varieties (MBG-BRS0468, MBG-BRS0476, MBG-BRS0477 and MBG-BRS0494) were the most promising for vegetal and fodder use. One of them showed the best early vigor (MBG-BRS0366) and two of them were the most resistant to Lepidoptera pest (MBG-BRS0060 and MBG-BRS0223). Kale varieties showed a high crude fibre content, and also a high acid detergent fibre, crude protein and calcium content. The varieties MBG-BRS0106, MBG-BRS0281, MBG-BRS0335 and MBG-BRS0464 could be candidates for future breeding programs since they had a good agronomic performance and a high calcium content.

“…Also, in some landraces of the collection, there is a mixture of morphologically different types of plants for example in some cabbage landraces there is a mixture of head forming and non-forming plants (Padilla et al 2007b). The mixture of landraces with different allelic frequencies can cause subpopulation structure, leading to a reduction in the overall heterozygosity due to the Wahlund effect (Wahlund 1928).…”

Effect of regeneration procedures on the genetic integrity of Brassica oleracea accessions

A Brassica oleracea collection of landraces collected in the northwest of Spain is kept at the Gene Bank placed at 'Misión Biológica de Galicia'. Landraces of the collection are regenerated from time to time to restore the viability of the seed and to carry on field trials. The objective of this work is to study the effect of regeneration on the genetic integrity of three accessions of this collection, and to investigate the possible causes of the genetic changes observed. After characterizing the original populations and their following regenerated populations by 25 SSRs we concluded that there were significant changes in the population structure and the allelic frequency of individual loci due to the action of genetic drift, directional selection and probably assortative mating. Protocols to store and regenerate the accessions should be improved in order to avoid the effect of these forces in the genetic integrity of the collection.
