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. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A Brassica oleracea plant comprising S-methylmethionine in a content of 48 mg/100 g fresh weight (FW) or more. ### Claim 2 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. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The Brassica oleracea plant according to claim 1, which is selected from the group consisting of broccoli, cauliflower, Chinese kale, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, kohlrabi, kale, and a hybrid thereof. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The Brassica oleracea plant according to claim 3, which is broccoli. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) A part of the Brassica oleracea plant according to claim 1. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) A seed of the Brassica oleracea plant according to claim 1. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) A method for producing a Brassica oleracea plant comprising a step of cross pollinating the Brassica oleracea plant according to claim 1 with another Brassica oleracea plant. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The method according to claim 7, wherein the Brassica oleracea plant comprises S-methylmethionine in a content of 48 mg/100 g FW or more. ### Claim 9 (depends on 7) The method according to claim 7, which further comprises a step of producing doubled haploids from the progeny plants obtained in the step of cross pollinating via anther culture or pollen culture. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) A Brassica oleracea plant, a seed of the plant, or a part of the plant, the plant being obtainable by a method for producing a Brassica oleracea plant comprising a step of cross pollinating the Brassica oleracea plant according to claim 1 with another Brassica oleracea plant. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The Brassica oleracea plant, the seed of the plant, or the part of the plant according to claim 10, comprising S-methylmethionine in a content of 48 mg/100 g FW or more. ### Claim 12 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. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) An S-methylmethionine-containing composition, comprising the Brassica oleracea plant according to claim 1, a part of the plant, or a processed product of the plant or the part. ### Claim 14 (depends on 1) A method for producing S-methylmethionine, comprising obtaining S-methylmethionine from the Brassica oleracea plant according to claim 1, a part of the plant, or a processed product of the plant or the part. ### Claim 15 (canceled) ### Claim 16 (depends on 2) A method for producing a Brassica oleracea plant comprising a step of cross pollinating the Brassica oleracea plant according to claim 2 with another Brassica oleracea plant. ### Claim 17 (depends on 2) A Brassica oleracea plant, a seed of the plant, or a part of the plant, the plant being obtainable by a method for producing a Brassica oleracea plant comprising a step of cross pollinating the Brassica oleracea plant according to claim 2 with another Brassica oleracea plant. ### Claim 18 (depends on 2) An S-methylmethionine-containing composition, comprising the Brassica oleracea plant according to claim 2, a part of the plant, or a processed product of the plant or the part. ### Claim 19 (depends on 2) A method for producing S-methylmethionine, comprising obtaining S-methylmethionine from the Brassica oleracea plant according to claim 2, a part of the plant, or a processed product of the plant or the part.
