Abstract
Cultivated cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata L.) belongs to 2n=18 Brassica and is thought to originate from West European wild species of B. oleracea. It has a long history as a vegetable crop and there is evidence that the Romans cultivated head cabbages (Snogerup 1980). Cabbage is one of the most important vegetables and ranks second next to tomato in cultivated areas as well as in production in the world (FAO 1982). The total cultivated area for cabbage is 1686×103 ha and tomato 2483 × 103 ha and production is 36,225 × 1000 Mt for cabbage and 53,892 × 1000 Mt for tomato. The distribution and production of cabbage in the world is given in Table 1 (see also Leike 1988).
