3. Cole crops are the group of related vegetables belonging to the family Brassicaceae . The word 'Cole’ is derived from Latin word ` Caulis ’ which means stem . The term Cole was used to refer the group of highly differentiated plants originating from a single wild form known as “Cole Warts”. This group of crops are recognized by the unique cross-shaped, yellow flowers hence, they called as Crucifers ( Cruciferae ). Origin: Mediterranean region Introduction

6. IMPORTANCE Low in carbohydrates, fats, calories. Good source of protein (balanced), minerals, vitamin A, vitamin C and vitamin D. Known for anticancer properties (- indole -3-carbinol). Cabbage juice: against poisonous mushroom. Flavor compound : sinigrin Includes antioxidants – ascorbic acid, tocopherols , carotenoids , isothiocyanates , indoles , flavanoids .

7. Inflorescence Inflorescence of crucifer is Raceme Numerous small yellow/white flowers with 4 petals, 6 stamens , of which 2 are short and other 4 stamens are longer than the style and Single superior ovary. The stigma receptive even 5 days before and 4 days after anthesis . Flowers are protogynous in nature. Major pollinators are honey bees and blowflies

8. Method of seed production in cabbage Cabbage requires two seasons to produce seeds. In the first season the heads are produced and in the following season seed production follows .  Two methods are followed In situ method - for certified seed production ( Seed to seed method ) 2. Transplanting method for nucleus seed production  ( Head to seed method )

11. Conti… In situ method In this method, the crop is allowed to over winter and produce seeds in their original position , where they are first planted . It is commonly used for foundation and certified seed production. Transplanting method In this method the matured plants are uprooted and the outer whorls removed . Then the plants are replanted in a well prepared new field. In cabbage, during seed production, three methods have been followed to facilitate  flowering and seed production.

12. Images of seed production methods

13. Stump method When the crop in the first season (fully matured), the heads are examined for true to type . The plants with off type heads are removed.   Then the heads are cut just below the base by means of a sharp knife, keeping the stem with outer whorl of leaves intact . The beheaded portion of the plant is called 'stump'.

14. Conti…. The stumps are either left in situ or replanted in the second season. After over wintering (dormancy breaking), the buds sprouts from the axis of all the leaves and leaf scars. Advantages Gives extra income by way of sale of heads Crop matures 12 to 15 days earlier Seed yield is slightly high. Disadvantage. Flower stalks are decumbent and requires heavy staking.

15. Stump with central core intact method  When the crop is fully matured in first season, off type plants are removed and rejected. When the head start bursting after over wintering, two vertical cross cuts are given to the head, taking care that the central growing point is not injured . In the absence of such cuts, the heads burst out irregularly and sometimes the growing tip is broken .

16. Conti…. Advantages Shoots arising from main stem are not decumbent hence, heavy staking is not required . Seed yield is high. Disadvantages The chopped heads cannot be marketed.

17. Head intact method In this method, when the crop is fully mature in first season, the heads are examined for true to type. The plants with off type heads are removed from the field and rejected. The head is kept intact and only a cross cut is given to facilitate the emergence of stalk.

18. Cont…… Advantages   Saves time and labour . heavy staking is not required. Disadvantages Seed yield is slightly low as compared to other methods.

19. Vernalization The induction of flowering by prolonged exposure to low temperatures , as during the winter in a temperate climate. Mature vegetative plants, which are uprooted in autumn from the fields, potted and over wintered in a green house at temperatures between 5-10 °C Or they can be stored in trenches of the size of 3 m x 1 m x 1 m. Cabbage plants are stored in slanting position. The trenches are covered with the wooden planks. Heads are allowed to vernalize for 2 to 3 months at temperatures between 5-10 °C. Sharma, 2015

20. Method of seed production in cauliflower Step-1: Selection of an healthy, true to type curd Step-2: Sterilization. All the apparatus to be used for curd scooping i.e. knife; forceps etc. Step-3: Selection of curd and removing the central portion of the curd. To facilitate bolting, different curd- cutting methods like scooping, half curd cutting and curd pruning are recommended . These practices have impact on branching, seed yield and seed quality.

21. Step-4: Cleaning . After removing the core portion of the curd the wounds will be cleaned gently Step-5: Protection from fungal infection using ‘ Indofil ’ or ‘ Mancozeb ’ Step-6: Nursing: After removing the core portion of the cauliflower curd, proper nursing is need to be provided through side dressing of chemical fertilizer and organic manure. Seed production at early bolting stage. Seed Production at advance bolting stage

22. Special approaches (practices to increase yield) Blanching: It is done to protect the curd from discoloration caused by the sun. Leaves are tied over curds with coded strings or rubber bands Blanching should begin about one week before harvest. Self-blanching varieties are available, ex: snowball 2. Tying: is done to keep heads white , leaves are usually gathered around the head at about the time that they are 2 cm in diameter. Discolored curd

23. Disbudding & Staking After the production of the desired number of siliqua the terminal part of each of the fruit stalks (peduncles) will be snapped to ensure better growth of the fruits and the seeds within it. At this stage staking will be provided to the plants with suitable size sticks.

24. Genetic mechanisms of hybrid development in Cole crops Self incompatibility: SI refers to the inability of a plant to set seed upon self pollination despite male and female gamete is viable, there is no seed set in self pollination Heteromorphic system Pin type Thrum type Homomorphic system Sporophytic self incompatibility (SSI) i.e. (Cole crops) Gametophytic self incompatibility (GSI) 24 In Brassica sps , the exploitation of heterosis is mainly through the Sporophytic self incompatibility

25. 25 Basic steps in the use of SSI Identification of self-incompatible plants in diverse population/genotypes Development of homozygous self-incompatible lines Identification of S-alleles in the homozygous self-incompatible lines Detection of Establishment of inter-allelic relationships among the S-alleles Maintenance of parental self-incompatible lines Commercial hybrid seed production

28. CMS is a maternally inherited trait encoded by a gene located in the mitochondria . Expression of a mitochondrial CMS gene can be masked by nuclear fertility restorer ( Rf ) genes, allowing the plant to produce functional pollen (Ogura 1968).
