Variety traits
Brassica oleracea L. (Red Cabbage Group)
Waxy bloom is an important morphological trait of red cabbage, which is evaluated visually and influences the plant's adaptation to drought and resistance to pests.
In the reference 54 varieties crop Red cabbage, where this is mentioned in the description.
In red cabbage, the intensity of the waxy bloom is classified as weak, medium, or strong. The evaluation is conducted using a visual-descriptive method at the stage of head technical maturity and is used for the identification of varieties and hybrids, as the bloom imparts a characteristic glaucous or silvery hue to the leaves.
The biological role of the bloom is to protect the leaf epidermis from excessive moisture evaporation during drought periods and to reduce the ability of pests to attach themselves to the plant surface. The expression of the trait is a varietal characteristic and correlates with the overall adaptive capacity of the plant to environmental conditions.
