Abstract
This invention provides a Brassica oleracea plant with high S-methylmethionine content. This invention relates to a Brassica oleracea plant with higher S-methylmethionine content than that in a conventional Brassica oleracea plant. Specifically, this invention relates to a Brassica oleracea plant with the S-methylmethionine content of 48 mg/100 g fresh weight or more.
Claims19
A Brassica oleracea plant comprising S-methylmethionine in a content of 48 mg/100 g fresh weight (FW) or more.
A Brassica oleracea plant having a genetic trait causing an increased content of S-methylmethionine in a plant, the genetic trait being present in a broccoli, the representative seeds of which are deposited under Accession Number:
- FERM BP-22352, or in a progeny of the broccoli having a genetic trait causing an increased content of S-methylmethionine in a plant.
A method for producing a Brassica oleracea plant comprising S-methylmethionine in a content of 48 mg/100 g FW or more comprising:
- a step of cross pollinating Brassica oleracea plants;
- a step of producing doubled haploids from a progeny plant obtained in the step of cross pollinating via anther culture or pollen culture;
- and
- a step of selecting a Brassica oleracea plant comprising S-methylmethionine in a content of 48 mg/100 g FW or more from among the doubled haploids produced by the step of producing doubled haploids.
