White Kohlrabi

Abstract

The invention relates to a kohlrabi plant carrying a genetic trait that leads to petioles, stems and bulb having an extra white colour at harvest stage as compared to the petioles, stems and bulb of a kohlrabi plant not carrying the said genetic trait. The extra white colour may be a colour graded in the white group for example the colour 155 A or B or C or NN 155 A or B or C or D and in the greed-green group for example the colours 190 D or 191 D or 192 D or 193 D according to The RHS Colour Chart, fifth edition. The plant may be obtainable by crossing a first kohlrabi parent plant with a second kohlrabi parent plant, wherein one of the parents is a plant grown from seeds of which a representative sample was deposited with the NCIMB under deposit accession number NCIMB 41530 or a progeny plant thereof and selecting for plants which have the genetic trait that leads to an extra white colour of the petioles, stems and bulb as compared to the petioles, stems and bulb of a plant not carrying the genetic trait.
