Breeding Major Oilseed Crops: Prospects and Future Research Needs

  • How much oil is in oilseed?
  • Surprisingly among oilseed crops, the content of oil varies considerably for example from 20% in soybean to 60% in sesame, though their lipid biosynthetic pathway is similar (Gupta, 2008). This proposes that in majority of oilseed crops, there is room for engineering the seed oil at much higher concentration than the present one.
  • What are the major objectives in oilseed crop improvement?
  • The major objectives in oilseed crop improvement are enhancement of seed and oil yield, quality of oil for edible and industrial purposes, and development of varieties to suit different cropping systems having inbuilt resistance or tolerance to major biotic and abiotic stresses.
  • Is engineered oilseed a health promoting crop?
  • Meesapyodsuk, D., Ye, S., Chen, Y., Chen, Y., Chapman, R. G., and Qiu, X. (2018). An engineered oilseed crop produces oil enriched in two very long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids with potential health-promoting properties. Met. Eng. 49, 192–200. doi: 10.1016/j.ymben.2018.08.009
  • Are fatty fish and oilseed crops a good source of healthy fats?
  • There are several dietary sources of healthy fats, including fatty fish and oilseed crops, and interest in oilseed crops has increased in recent years, due to the unique FA profiles contained therein (Kinney 1996; Raß et al. 2008).
