A brief review of information about the life and scientific path of the famous domestic geneticist and breeder of vegetable and melon crops, Doctor of Agricultural Sciences, Professor F.A. Tkachenko, dedicated to the 100th anniversary of his birth, is given. The main stages of the formation of F.A. Tkachenko as a person and a scientist during periods of war, training and work at the Institute of Vegetable Growing and Melon Growing of the NAAS are shown. The data on its participation in the development of genetics of heterosis and selection of heterotic hybrids of vegetable and melon crops in Ukraine are presented. The main scientific achievements and results of F.A. Tkachenko's activity as a scientist and teacher are indicated. The role of F.A. Tkachenko in the work of the Institute of Vegetable and Melon Growing of the NAAS and the formation of the national scientific school in the field of genetics and selection of vegetable and melon crops is shown. Keywords: vegetable and melon crops, genetics of heterosis and heterotic plant breeding in Ukraine, scientific achievements of F.A. Tkachenko.

Potential Impact

In this review canola meal (CM), its nutritionally significant components and the availability of its nutrients to poultry, pigs and cattle were discussed. Avenues for possible improvement in available energy, protein and lysine were identified. Recent findings on glucosinolates were also discussed with the conclusion that a further reduction of glucosinolates through plant breeding is both possible and desirable. The role of the anti-nutrients sinapine, tannins and phytic acid were also considered. The potential impact of improvements to CM on its economic value was examined using linear program least-cost ration formulations applied to typical market situations. Key words: Canola meal, energy, protein, carbohydrates, anti-nutritional factors, economics
