Comprehensive phenomics and vegetative yield analysis of global kale (Brassica oleracea var. acephala) germplasm in controlled environment agriculture.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Kale (Brassica oleracea var. acephala) is a high value leafy vegetable with an extensive domestication history and germplasm diversity, making it an ideal target for genetic improvement. To meet growing food security needs particularly with controlled environment agriculture (CEA) systems, specialized breeding strategies are required. The goal of this study was to survey the phenotypic architecture of...
