Continued selection for larger stems and flowers in wild mustard, Brassica oleracea, is likely to lead to the development of broccoli. This is because broccoli is a cultivar of Brassica oleracea that has been selectively bred for the desired traits of larger stems and flowers. While other cultivars like cabbage, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts also belong to the same species, they have been selectively bred for other traits like leaves, buds, and heads respectively, and therefore would not be the most likely outcome of continued selection for larger stems and flowers. Kale, on the other hand, is a cultivar of a different subspecies of Brassica oleracea and is not likely to be produced from wild mustard.
