BroSI
- Project title: Broccoli self-incompatibility
- Project acronym: BroSI
- Applicants: Zschunke Amadeus (Sativa Rheinau AG), Gruner Paul (Breeder, Sativa Rheinau AG).

Summary
The use of either self-fertile or self-incompatible genotypes is crucial for broccoli breeding. Until now, it has only been possible to differentiate between different self-incompatibility (SI) alleles through complex crossbreeding, which is a very time-consuming method, especially when crossing new varieties. In this project, genotypes are to be analyzed for existing SI or self-fertility (SF) alleles using molecular methods and thus provide a tool for determining SI alleles in the future.
