The Future

Brassica napus L. is a vegetable oil crop, commonly known as rapeseed (or canola). It is widely used as a source of oil and protein for food and industrial applications, but also as a remedy, and in a field of attraction or as an ornament due to its diverse flower colors. Every part of rapeseed is useful, even the waste, which could be used to feed animals, or recycled. In this review, the use of rapeseed in these applications is presented, starting with the preparation of oil and protein from the seeds, before their release in the market, to the utilization of natural unprocessed rapeseed. Progress in rapeseed exploitation for food, remedy, energy source, and industrial applications are analyzed to show variability in diverse findings, to provide insights and progressive descriptions of rapeseed usage to other scholars. Moreover, advancements in breeding for rapeseed improvement were described. In the future, strategies could be developed or improved to avoid or decrease crop losses, but also to increase interest in propagating the valuable traits of rapeseed.

This work is a review of selected literature on the species of <em>Brassica</em> with the greatest economic significance. Oilseed rape (<em>Brassica napus</em> ssp. <em>oleifera</em>) currently ranks third worldwide among oilseed crops used for oil production and is the most important in the temperate zone. The manifold uses of rape include not only human consumption of oil, but also the use of post-extraction meal to feed livestock as well as industrial applications as a source of bioenergy or cellulose. The improvement in the economic position of rape among crop plants is also due to the doubling of its yield between 1970 and 2009; the average annual increase in seed yield worldwide was 27 kg ha<sup>−1</sup> yr<sup>−1</sup>. The yield level in Europe exceeds the average yields achieved in the world, particularly in Asia. Recently, the cultivation of oilseed rape was started on a relatively large acreage in Iran where the yield amounted 2.1 t ha<sup>−1</sup>, exceeding the yields of China and India. In Poland, the acreage of oilseed rape cultivation between 1965 and 2013 increased 3–4 times, and during this period the annual increase in seed yield was 29 kg ha<sup>−1</sup> yr<sup>−1</sup>. Under the field conditions of the temperate climate zone, winter oilseed rape yield is mainly determined by agro-climatic conditions during the growing period, the level of nitrogen fertilization, and the production potential of varieties, which is currently highest in hybrids. There is a noticeable tendency of hybrids towards formation of more siliques by individual oilseed plants. Different production categories of plants appear in a rape crop. Semi-dwarf varieties of winter rapeseed are distinguished by greater silique density, particularly on the main shoot. Moreover, these hybrids are characterized by faster growth of the root system, which enables them to take up nitrogen from the soil more efficiently.

Отмечена роль Н. И. Вавилова в организации исследований исходного и селекционного материала по биохимическим признакам, определяющим пищевые, кормовые и технологические качества сельскохозяйственной продукции. Выделен перспективный материал для создания сортов рапса с улучшенными пищевыми, кормовыми и технологическими характеристиками; выявлен характер зависимости признаков качества масла от погодных условий (температура, количество осадков и др.). Изучены 50 высокоэруковых (ВЭ) и 40 низкоэруковых (НЭ) линий ярового рапса (Brassica napus L.), выращенных в условиях Ленинградской области в 2012 – 2015 гг. Содержание масла и влажность в семенах определяли методом инфракрасной спектрометрии. Жирнокислотный состав (ЖКС) масла изучали с помощью газожидкостной хроматографии с масс-спектрометрией. Установлено содержание доминирующих жирных кислот для ВЭ и НЭ образцов, а также характер влияния погодных условий на ЖКС масла, в том числе на состав его отдельных фракций. Для ВЭ образцов установлена достоверная отрицательная корреляция (r = –0,96) между содержанием эруковой кислоты и температурой воздуха и достоверная положительная (r = 0,96) с количеством осадков в первую декаду июля. Для НЭ образцов установлена достоверная отрицательная зависимость между содержанием эруковой кислоты и средней температурой воздуха в мае. Выделенные образцы с высоким содержанием олеиновой (61,4 %) и низким линолевой (7,4 %) кислот можно рекомендовать для получения безэруковых сортов рапса, масло которых пригодно для длительного хранения. Контрастные по содержанию эруковой кислоты образцы будут использованы для создания сортов ярового рапса пищевого и кормового назначения, а также для производства биодизеля.
