Oilseed Rape

Outlook on Agriculture, 1989
Although oilseed rape has been grown in Europe since the 16th century it is only since the 1960s, as part of a policy of self-sufficiency in vegetable oils, that it has become a major crop. Apart from the intrinsic problems of crop management and the control of pests and diseases, growers have had to face others arising from EEC regulations concerning

Oilseed rape

Outlook on Agriculture, 1984
Oilseed rape is currently the third most important crop in the UK after barley and wheat. Field experiments show that despite the already attractive yields the full potential of the crop has not yet been achieved. However, its future is uncertain in that the area devoted to it within the EEC—representing one-fifth of world production—is strongly ...

Competitiveness of transgenic oilseed rape

Transgenic Research, 1995
The competitiveness of two transgenic oilseed rape (Brassica napus ssp.napus) lines and their fertile transgenic hybrid was tested in field trials in Belgium and Denmark. The lines contained genes for male sterility, restoration of fertility and herbicide resistance. The competitiveness of the three transgenic lines was related to three non-transformed

Chloroplast Transformation in Oilseed Rape

Transgenic Research, 2003
The chloroplast transformation vector pNRAB carries two expression cassettes for the spectinomycin resistance gene aadA and the insect resistance gene cry1Aa10. The two cassettes are sited between the rps7 and ndhB targeting fragments. Biolistic delivery of the vector DNA, followed by spectinomycin selection, yielded chloroplast transformants at a ...

Oilseed Rape

2010
This chapter assesses the prospects for using the oilseed rape crop as a feedstock for biofuels. Oilseed rape is used principally as a feedstock for biodiesel because its oil comfortably meets the biodiesel standard (EN14214). Currently about 18% of global biodiesel production comes from oilseed rape and this uses about 11% of global oilseed rape ...

Wetting characterizations of oilseed rapes

Journal of Bionic Engineering, 2016
Oilseed rape, widely cultivated all over the world, plays an important role for our daily life due to its high nutritional and economic values. In this paper, for the first time we discuss the surface wettability of oilseed rapes with special surface structures. It is found that the fresh rape flowers are superhydrophobic with a low Adhesion Force (AF),

Oilseed rape (swede rape)

Bee World, 1996
In 1919, when Bee World was first published, it had a regular feature quaintly called Apis and Flora. This was phased out in the mid 1920s and has only occasionally been revived since, with the new name of Plants for Bees. Considering the importance of plants to bees—there wouldn't be any bees without flowering plants—Bee World is beginning a new ...
