- and line 550198, having seed deposited under NCIMB Accession No. 41418;
- and
- said genetic source provides a main curd having at least 50% of florets that do not touch another floret on said main curd.
A part of a broccoli plant comprising a main curd having florets wherein at least 50% of said florets on said main curd do not touch another floret within the-same said main curd, wherein said broccoli plant is a cultivar of Brassica oleracea var. italica, and said broccoli plant shares a genetic source with a broccoli line selected from the group consisting of line 550478, having seed deposited under NCIMB Accession No. 41416;
- line 550479, having seed deposited under NCIMB Accession No. 41415;

- and line 550198, having seed deposited under NCIMB Accession No. 41418;
- and
- said genetic source provides a main curd having at least 50% of florets that do not touch another floret on said main curd.
A seed, endosperm, ovule, or pollen of a broccoli plant, wherein said broccoli plant comprises florets, wherein at least 50% of said florets on the main curd do not touch another floret within the-same said main curd, and said broccoli plant is a cultivar of Brassica oleracea var. italica, and said broccoli plant shares a genetic source with a broccoli line selected from the group consisting of line 550478, having seed deposited under NCIMB Accession No. 41416;
- line 550479, having seed deposited under NCIMB Accession No. 41415;
- line 550385, having seed deposited under NCIMB Accession No. 41417;
- and line 550198, having seed deposited under NCIMB Accession No. 41418;
- and said genetic source provides a main curd having at least 50% of florets that do not touch another floret on said main curd.
An F1 broccoli plant obtainable by crossing a first broccoli plant with a second broccoli plant, wherein said first broccoli plant comprises a main curd having florets, wherein at least 50% of said florets on said main curd do not touch another floret on said main curd, and said F1 broccoli plant comprises a main curd having florets, wherein at least 50% of said florets on said main curd do not touch another floret on said main curd, and said first broccoli plant is a cultivar of Brassica oleracea var. italica, and said first broccoli plant shares a genetic source with a broccoli line selected from the group consisting of line 550478, having seed deposited under NCIMB Accession No. 41416;
- line 550479, having seed deposited under NCIMB Accession No. 41415;
