AbstractAgeing causes a delay in the onset of DNA replication in seeds. Aerated hydration for 8 h, a treatment to invigorate seeds, resulted in a reduction of about 12 h in the time difference in the onset of DNA synthesis between unaged and aged embryos of brassica seed. This effect is consistent with a recovery process occurring during aerated hydration of the seed involving the repair of accumulated DNA damage. The occurrence of hydroxyurea-resistant 3H-thymidine incorporation in aged Brussels sprouts embryos during the period 16–32 h from the start of hydration supports this interpretation.

Response of cabbage (Brassica oleracea L. var. capitata), Brussels sprouts (Brassica oleracea var. gemmifera) and broccoli (Brassica oleracea L. var italica) to reduced N rates was studied over 4 yr. Treatments were application methods, broadcast, split and banded with two rates of N; 120 and 90 kg ha−1 plus a control of 150 kg ha−1 broadcast N. Marketable yield was lower by 15, 23, and 13%, respectively, compared to the control. Banding lowered yield of cabbage and broccoli. The lower N rate had the lowest yield in all crops. Leaf N concentration varied with N rate. Key words: Broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, reduced nitrogen, yield

Brassica Oleracea L

Broccoli (Brassica oleracea L. ssp. italica Plenck., cult Waltham 29), Brussels sprouts (Brassica oleracea L. ssp. gemmifera, cult Jade Cross), and cauliflower (Brassica oleracea L. ssp. botrytis, cult Snowball Y) were grown at four locations on Prince Edward Island with five levels of applied B at each location. The levels of applied B were: 0, 0.56, 1.12, 2.24, and 4.48 kg B/ha. No B deficiency symptoms, with the exception of hollow stem in cauliflower and broccoli, were noted. The incidence of hollow stem in these crops was not affected by applied B. The B concentration of tissues of all three crops was generally lower late in the growing season than earlier. Boron levels in the first tissue samplings were 13–70, 13–101, and 8–97 ppm in broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and cauliflower, respectively, and were found to be in the sufficiency range. A hot-water-soluble B content of 0.34–0.49 ppm in soil was sufficient for optimum growth of the crops. No B toxicity was observed even when the rate of applied B was 4.48 kg/ha.
