Description
Rapeseed is an important oilseed crop belonging to Crucifereae family and grown in subtropical to temperate climate. Recent discoveries
have caused the scientific community to respond positively by directing a greater amount of research towards increasing production and
improving the quality of rapeseed oil. Today, the annual worldwide production is approximately 7.5 million tons on 4 million acres. Canola
ranks 5th in the production of world's oilseed crops following soybean, sunflower, groundnut and cottonseed.
Rapeseed Breeding
fully explains the miraculous discoveries about the genetic material which have contributed to the growth of this important crop. With
contributions from world-renowned researchers from North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia, this book provides the first scientific
reference for scientists interested in the further exploitation of this important crop.
