Abstract
A method for producing crucifer germplasm, in particular broccoli and cauliflower germplasm, with high levels of cancer chemoprotectant agents is provided which comprises screening a population of plants for glucosinolate profiles and selecting an individual plant with an enhanced alkyl/indole glucosinolate ratio. Subsequent breeding with a selected plant results in varieties, lines, and plants with desirable glucosinolate profiles. A method of growing crucifer sprouts to enhance chemoprotectant activity of the sprouts by germinating the seeds in a limited water volume is also provided. A method for producing crucifer germplasm which produces seeds with reduced leakage of seed material is provided which comprises screening a population of plants for production of seeds with reduced leakage and selecting an individual plant which produces such seeds.
