Euphytica Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

An improved technique has been used for the determination of thiocyanate ion (-SCN) released on enzymatic hydrolysis of kale (B. oleracea) inbred lines and F1 hybrids. Considerable heritable variation has been found. Grazing trials have shown a relationship between -SCN in the crop and in the blood plasma of grazing sheep.
