Key message A single nucleotide mutation of BoCER2 is the primary cause of the wax deficiency in cabbage. An effective allele-specific KASP marker was developed for marker-assisted selection of glossiness. TL28-1 is a novel spontaneous wax-deficient mutant with a glossy phenotype identified from cab...
