The aim of this project was to incorporate the superior high yielding quality of broccoli into the leafy low yielding Chinese kale or kailaan. Kailaan is a leafy veegtable with a small frame popular in tropical and sub-tropical Asia. It also has a nutty flavour well liked by the Asian consumers. The key outcomes of this project will be a hybrid Kailaan – Broccoli variety with superior yield and the desirable nutty flavour. The project has concluded with the advance stage in the development of broccoli and kailaan parent lines that will be used to produce the Kailaan – Broccoli hybrid variety.
