<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> In the years of 2012-2013 male-sterile cauliflower genotypes with the Brassica nigra cytoplasm and their maintainers were tested with respect to their ability for generative propagation and the quality of agronomical traits in comparison to male-fertile inbreeds and sterile genotypes with the Ogu-INRA cytoplasm. The ability for the generative propagation for male-sterile genotypes with the B. nigra cytoplasm was diversified and lower than for the maintainer, fertile lines and lines with the Ogu-INRA cytoplasm. Generative stalks of cauliflowers with the B. nigra cytoplasm usually had a higher number of buds and flowers in comparison to the fertile genotypes and to the sterile Ogu-INRA lines. The most desired commercial characteristics, such as circular shape, compactness of curd and intermediate or strong coverage by leaves, were noticed for sterile lines with the Ogu-INRA cytoplasm and their fertile complementary lines. Three experimental F1 hybrids showed good quality in comparison to commercial F1 cultivars.</abstract>
