Abstrakt: Brassica oilseed species are the third most important in the world, providing approximately 15 % of the total vegetable oils. Three species (Brassica rapa, B. juncea, B. napus) dominate with B. napus being the most common in Canada, China and Europe. Originally, B. napus was a crop producing seed with high erucic acid content, which still persists today, to some extent, and is used for industrial purposes. In contrast, cultivars which produce seed used for food and feed are low erucic acid cultivars which also have reduced glucosinolate content. Because of the limit to agricultural land, recent efforts have been made to increase productivity of oil crops, including Brassica oilseed species. In this article, we have detailed research in this regard. We have covered modern genetic, genomic and metabolic control analysis approaches to identifying potential targets for the manipulation of seed oil content. Details of work on the use of quantitative trait loci, genome-wide association and comparative functional genomics to highlight factors influencing seed oil accumulation are given and functional proteins which can affect this process are discussed. In summary, a wide variety of inputs are proving useful for the improvement of Brassica oilseed species, as major sources of global vegetable oil.
