A Review of Hybrid Cauliflower Development

Summary Cauliflower is an important vegetable crop which belongs to the family Brassicaceae and is grown in many countries like India, China, Italy, Europe, America, etc. It is grown for its highly suppressed ‘prefloral fleshy apical meristem’ branches called “curd.” It is a cross-pollinated crop. There are different groups based on their characteristics. Multiple pollination mechanisms, e.g., self-incompatibility and male sterility, not only encourages cross-pollination but also found useful in the commercial hybrid seed production of the crop. As the main hindrance to the popularization of F1 hybrids is unavailability and high cost of hybrid seed. In cauliflower, F1 hybrids have been found advantageous for earliness, high early and total yield, better curd quality with respect to compactness and color, uniform maturity, resistance to insect pest, diseases and unfavorable weather conditions. Many studies has been done on the aspects of genetic improvement, resistance for biotic, abiotic stresses and on biotechnological aspects.
