	Rapeseed - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rapeseed (Brassica napus), also known as Rape, Oilseed Rape, Rapa, Rapaseed and (one particular cultivar) Canola, is a bright yellow flowering member of the family Brassicaceae (mustard or cabbage family).
		The name is derived through Old English from a term for turnip, rapum (see Brassica napobrassica, which may be considered a cultivar of Brassica napus).
		Rapeseed is very widely cultivated throughout the world for the production of animal feed, vegetable oil for human consumption, and biodiesel; leading producers include the European Union, Canada, the United States, Australia, China and India.

	Brassica carinata and Brassica napus in Greece, Greece, Production
		The Brassica oil crops such as rapeseed (B. napus) and Ethiopian mustard (B. carinata) are considered potential crops for biomass and industrial non-food oil production.
		During the first experimental year, the adaptability and biomass yields of 17 Brassica carinata varieties were examined in comparative experiments with four rapeseed varieties (Libravo, Karat, Kabel and Kreta).
		The experimental results indicate that Brassica carinata, being a native crop of the Mediterranean basin, is very cold sensitive compared to rapeseed which is very well adapted to northern EU regions.

	DuPont Biotechnology: More Information on Current DuPont Products and Potential Impacts of Gene Flow
		Three Brassica species are important oilseed crops globally - Brassica napus (rapeseed, oilseed rape), B. rapa (turnip rape, sarson), and B. juncea (Indian mustard, oriental mustard).
		In the crops that are self-compatible (B. juncea and B. napus), on average, 80% of the seeds arise from self -fertilization (Rakow and Woods, 1987).
		The researchers observed a similar situation in the B. napus X B. nigra crosses: hybrids from the reciprocal crosses were highly sterile and no seed was set when selfed or backcrossed to B.nigra.

	Technology Summary - WARF: P98024US - Hybrid, Spring Brassica napus with Winter Germplasm Introgression
		Brassica napus, the most productive oilseed rape (canola) species, can be divided into two main groups: winter lines, which are robust enough to overwinter in Europe and China, and spring lines, which are grown in northern Europe, Canada, and the northern tier of the United States only during the spring and summer.
		Although winter lines generally produce higher yields, existing winter varieties are not sufficiently hardy to endure the harsh, winter climates of the northern United States and Canada.
		This invention provides a method for obtaining high-yield hybrid Brassica napus with the growth habit of a spring line.
