  Brassica oleracea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Brassica oleracea or Wild Cabbage, is a species of Brassica native to coastal southern and western Europe, where its tolerance of salt and lime but intolerance of competition from other plants typically restricts its natural occurrence to limestone sea cliffs.
oleracea is very closely related to five other species of the genus Brassica.
The plant is used because of its large food reserves, rich in essential nutrients including vitamin C, stored over the winter in its leaves.

 Cabbage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The cabbage (Brassica oleracea Capitata Group) is a plant of the Family Brassicaceae (or Cruciferae).
Like all brassicae, cabbage is a cool season crop, so early and late plantings do better than those maturing in the heat of the summer.
The caterpillars of some butterflies in the family Pieridae (the "whites") feed on brassicas and can be serious pests.

 Brassica oleracea Genome Project   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
One part of the project, in collaboration with the Cold Spring Harbor group, is to perform whole genome shotgun sequencing with a goal of reaching 0.5 - 1x coverage of the Brassica genome.
In parallel we are fully sequencing six Brassica BAC contigs identified by O'Neill and Bancroft (The Plant Journal 23: 233, 2000) as being homeologous to a region of the Arabidopsis genome that is duplicated between chromosomes 4 and 5.
oleracea genome sequence and annotation will be released on this web site and submitted to the public databases upon completion of the project.

 Brussel Sprouts
Brussel sprouts, Brassica oleracea var gemmifera, are known to be native to cool regions in northern Europe.
The origin of Brasssica oleracea var gemmifera is thought to be the result of a mutation from the savoy cabbage, Brassica olearcea capitata L. sabuda subgroup.
It is important to plant brussel sprouts on land that has not been planted with other Brassica crops (cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, kale, kohlrabi, Chinese cabbage, all mustards, turnips, rutabagas, radishes, brussel sprouts, etc.) nor has been infested with related weeds (wild radish, wild mustards, etc.) for at least 2 years, preferably 4 years.

Traits associated with seed germination performance and pre-emergence seedling growth were measured in a segregating population of 105 doubled haploid lines for which a consensus molecular map was available.
The population resulted from a cross between two Brassica oleracea crop types, Chinese kale and calabrese which had markedly different rates of germination.
Heritability of the seed vigour traits was found to be in the region of 10-25% and a number of significant quantitative trait loci (QTL) were identified.
