Broccolification refers to the extensive selective breeding of edible plants so that multiple underutilized parts become optimized for human consumption. The most notable example of broccolification is Brassica oleracea, whose separate components have been bred by humans into culinary vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, kohlrabi, and kale. Other examples include Raphanus sativus, wherein Shunkyo radishes have been undergone selective breeding to optimize the flavor and texture of the edible leaves rather than simply the root.
The term was coined in a botanical context in 2026 by phytobiology student Savannah Butler during her description of the cultivation of Rumex vesicarius, a wild member of the rhubarb family native to North Africa and West Asia.

The Royal Bavarian State Railways had, at different times, three different goods wagon classification systems that roughly correspond to the early, middle and late period of the state railway era in Bavaria:
- Epoch Ia - the early period from 1867 to 1892. The time when the main line network was established.
- Epoch Ib - the middle period from 1893 to 1912. The boom time for the branch lines.
- Epoch Ic - the late period from 1913 to 1920. The war years and aftermath until the formation of the Deutsche Reichsbahn.
In practice Epoch Ic may have extended into the mid-1920s because it would have taken time for practices to change and for wagons to be repainted. In Bavaria, this may have taken longer than elsewhere, because they were part of the independent 'Bavarian Group Administration', the only one of its kind in the Reichsbahn. The following sections explain the goods wagon classification schemes in the 3 epochs.
