Sažetak
Brassicaceae family counts around 350 genera and 3500 species [1], including crops of great economic importance, such as Brassica oleracea and B. rapa, which represent a significant part of human and animal diet [2]. The vegetables from this family have diverse morphological forms, such as leaves that form a head of cabbage, non- heading kale, collard greens and Chinese kale, an enlarged stem of kohlrabi, axillary buds of brussels sprouts, immature inflorescences of cauliflower and broccoli. Broccoli (Brassica oleracea botrytis var. cymosa) has a characteristic miniature tree-like appearance with a lot of elongated lateral shoots starting at the maturation of the terminal inflorescence [3]. What about the broccoli organism from the inside? Using a light microscope, we captured the structure of its tissues, cells, cell walls, tubes, vessels and pits. It is just as attractive and picturesque on the inside as it is on the outside.
