Abstract
Many years ago, the first Brassica species were propagated. There are several methods that can be used to grow Brassica plants, such as intergeneric hybridization, microscope cultivation, anther cultivation, CRISPR/Cas4 Technology and the phylogenetic analysis of Brassica genomes. The plants that have evolved from Brassica species are many, and these include Savoy cabbage, broccoli, mustard greens, Japanese mustard, horseradish, as well as kale. Although the main supplier of Brassica vegetables is China, these species have diverged and emerged to several other countries like Cyprus, Europe, Levant, Greece and the British Isles. Ogura cytoplasm introgression is a technique that has highlighted the differences in floral traits in species of Brassica plants. In cauliflower plants, pre-floral meristem division is a factor that’s often investigated, as divisions of this plant part demonstrates plant growth and mobility. This perspective chapter will address all aspects pertaining to the genus Brassica, and it will provide an account of key characteristics and functions ascribed to Brassica plants.

3.2 Sugar concentration vs. androgenic responses
Sugar concentration also has a huge impact on callus formation, and therefore embryonic development and androgenic responses. Just like with embryogenesis using seeds and/or microspores, in anther culture, media conditions also have a tremendous impact on embryo development, and thus, in this case, androgenic response (or androgenic capacity) [27, 28]. Roy
3.3 Hybridisation and the case of the Japanese radish
Hybrid production in cauliflower is possible through a process called intergeneric hybridisation, or Ogura cytoplasm introgression [14]. This process involves a male, female and restorer line [1], with the restorer gene not necessarily required for hybrid seed production [31]. Inspite of this, this process is found effective to main homozyosity of the embryo, because submating has been found to disturb the uniformity of all 3 lines after 2 or 3 generations, and as a result a lower qualify hybrid is produced in comparison to the SI lineage zygote/curd [32]. However, during introgression, only the male floral traits appear to be reduced. Among others, these floral traits are flower size, length of style, and length of stamens. In contrast, the female traits remain intact, and include: petal colour, style shape, ovary type, and the presence of nectaries [1]. Since the curd, also referred to as the pre-floral meristem, is the edible part of the cauliflower, there is not a need to restore fertility, since the seeds are only used in propagatory practices [28]. Hence, the need for male sterility using genes from other crops belonging to the genus,

7.3 Genome sequencing and curd formation
The main purpose, or underlying basis, of performing genome resequencing is to be able to understand and investigate the dynamics of SVs (e.g. from Korso and Ox-heart) so that it’s possible to obtain morphologically different, or divergent,
Although there are homologues that aid in the transition from vegetative to generative growth, there are others, such as PRC1 and PRC2, which assists in epigenetic modification, and thus assists in regulating the process of flowering. This means that it is because of the FLC-related autonomous and vernalisation pathways that a generative stage is reached at different timing intervals in cabbage and cauliflower. Introns and exons are particularly important during inflorescence meristem proliferation. An example where this is evident is in cabbage, where it has been found that Korso alleles are rare, whereas in cauliflower and broccoli, homozygous alleles for both structural variants are present [78]. This indicates exon deletions and intron insertion events in the Korso genotypes of all 3 crops, namely cabbage, broccoli and cauliflower. It is also worth noting that an upregulation of the BoWUS2 genes in all 3 crops result in both structural variants playing a vital role in curd formation [78]. In contrast, floral arrest and curd maintenance are processes that are essential for meristem development/arrest. In cabbage, it has been found that about 79.2% of accessions contained the OX-heart allele, while at the same locus point in broccoli and cabbage, the selection was for BoCAL Korso allele, and this suggested the role of this process in curd formation.
Some other genes that participate in the vegetative, transition and curd stages are the BoAP 1.2, BoFUL 1, BoFUL 3 and BoSEP 3, which are affected by structural variants [78]. There has been evidence that BoSVP 1 has an inverse relationship with curd development and flowering in that, in
There are several genes that participate in different phases of curd development. The below paragraph will mention a few, as well as their roles in this complex process. The first is the BoARL 2 gene that occurs to promote cauliflower curd size. The second is the BODRNL 1, which has a potential role in determining curd architecture, and which has deletions in its promoter region and determine curd development in cauliflower and broccoli. The helical growth is as a result of the BoTUA 2 and four BoTUA 3 genes found in

Thus far, you may have gathered that accessions relate to the utilisation of germplasm. However, much more needs to be done in order to make accessions more feasible. In the past, the 1950s, there were a variety of studies performed on cabbage germplasm. The studies performed are on ascorbic acid, dry matter, sugars, fibre, mineral elements, carotene, and proteins [87]. Furthermore, the accumulation and consumption of nutrients were also studied. Moreover, vitamins, pigments, and mustard oils in cabbage, turnips, and rutabaga and radishes were studied [87, 88]. Later on, by the 1970s, efforts were made to deepen studies on the diversity and biochemical composition of plants belonging to

Pancreatic cancer is also an illness that requires treatment using plants, particularly since in the USA it is the fourth cause of cancer-related deaths, whereas in Japan, it is the fifth. Cabbage has been shown to be most effective in treating pancreatic cancer among patients who consume 1 or more portions per week [110]. This observation was made with comparisons of subgroups of crops and fruits. Also, benzyl isothiocyanate, a member of the isothiocyanate family, was found to be an effective supplement alternative to X-ray therapy for pancreatic cancer. Bladder cancer, alternatively, occurs from the bladder epithelium, and is it this isothiocyanate present in
As already mentioned, many plants from the family, Brassicaceae, are involved in neurological diseases, and it had been noted that his has been due to oxidative stress. Furthermore, isothocyanates play an essential role in chronic diseases like cancer and neurodegenerative diseases [3]. This degradation product reduces the activation of cell death, and thereby also modulates inflammatory pathways, such as apoptosis. It does this by activating proinflammatory cytokine production, as well as, the production of oxidative species and the initiation of neuronal apoptosis death pathways, through NF-kβ translocation [112]. In a study where the Nrf2-ARE signalling pathways were activated, through mitochondrion function modulation, HSP70 gene transcription and expression, it was found that broccoli sprouts juice has a protective effect against β-amyloid peptide-induced cytotoxicity and apoptosis [113, 114]. In addition, due to Nrf2 activation, the broccoli juice was said to have also increased the activity of antioxidant enzymes, like HO-1, thioredoxin, thioredoxin reductase, NQ01, mRNA levels, as well as, intracellular glutathionine [112]. As a result of these roles of broccoli juice, it is said that plants of
