Abstract
Abstract A process for commercially producing high purity hybrid cabbage seed. One (or both) of the parental lines is rendered sib-incompatible by cloning a maximally self-incompatible parent plant so that the resulting line (or lines), consisting of cloned plants, is sib-as well as self-incompatible. The two parental lines, one or both of which is clonally derived, may then be crossed by natural pollination without encountering inbreeding of the cloned parental line (or lines). Prior difficulties in maintaining the parental inbred breeding lines are eliminated.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
116 words
A process for the production of high purity hybrid cabbage seed, comprising: (a) selecting a maximally self-incompatible parent plant; (b) cloning said selected maximally self-incompatible parent plant by axillary bud propagation to produce a first cloned parental line that is both maximally self-incompatible and maximally sib-incompatible; (c) crossing plants of said first cloned parental line with plants of a second parental line; and (d) collecting high purity hybrid seed from said first cloned parental line, wherein said axillary bud propagation is effected by establishing shoots from an excised axillary bud from said selected maximally self-incompatible parent plant, multiplying said shoots by axillary buds excised from said shoots, and rooting axillary buds excised from said multiplied shoots.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
116 words
A process for the production of high purity hybrid cabbage seed, comprising: (a) selecting a maximally self-incompatible parent plant; (b) cloning said selected maximally self-incompatible parent plant by axillary bud propagation to produce a first cloned parental line that is both maximally self-incompatible and maximally sib-incompatible; (c) crossing plants of said first cloned parental line with plants of a second parental line; and (d) collecting high purity hybrid seed from said first cloned parental line, wherein said axillary bud propagation is effected by establishing shoots from an excised axillary bud from said selected maximally self-incompatible parent plant, multiplying said shoots by axillary buds excised from said shoots, and rooting axillary buds excised from said multiplied shoots.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
97 words
The process according to claim 1 wherein said second parental line is obtained by axillary bud propagation of a second maximally self-incompatible parent plant to produce a second cloned parental line that is both maximally self-incompatible and maximally sib-incompatible, wherein said axillary bud propagation is effected by establishing shoots from an excised axillary bud from said second maximally self-incompatible parent plant, multiplying said shoots by axillary buds excised from said shoots, and rooting axillary buds excised from said multiplied shoots, and wherein the hybrid seeds are collected from the plants of either or both cloned parental lines.
