- Observation Chinese kale crossed successfully with three Brassica oleracea varieties, with average compatibility index 13.4.
- Observation All hybrids developed into normal fertile plants.
- Observation Self-crossed hybrids had compatibility index 14.1.
- Observation Hybrids combined parental morphologies with differing biases toward broccoli, kohlrab and cabbage.
- Observation F2 seeds germinated normally.
- Observation Two Chinese kale cultivars formed one cluster at Euclidean distance 2.78.
- Observation Cabbage cultivars and their Chinese kale F1 hybrids formed one group.
- Observation Kohlrab cultivars and their Chinese kale F1 hybrids formed one group.
- Observation Chinese kale was more closely related to cabbage than broccoli or kohlrabi.
- Observation The authors conclude Chinese kale and Brassica oleracea most likely belong to the same species.
- Mechanism The authors hypothesize Chinese kale evolved from cabbage as another Brassica oleracea variety.
