The use of biotechnological methods in molecular breeding of oilseed rape
Journal Title: Rośliny Oleiste - Oilseed Crops - Year 2013, Vol 34, Issue 1
Abstract
This paper comprises a review of genetic studies of winter oilseed rape, an important oil crop of the moderate climate zone. Biotechnological methods, such as genetic transformation with the use of bacterial vectors and gene silencing, site-directed mutagenesis as well as selection with the use of genetic markers with respect to field experiments were presented. The methods are applied for modification and improving of economically important traits, including resistance to diseases and pests, seed yield, seed oil fatty acid composition, the presence of biologically active compounds in oil and seed meal, and also the fibre content in seed coat. The importance of specific genetic markers development and their use for selection in breeding programs was highlighted. Molecular breeding was mentioned as a new, interdisciplinary domain. Finally, practical use of several genetic markers for identifying genes and genome regions linked to specific traits, including those developed at the Plant Breeding and Acclimatization Institute – NRI, Poznan Branch, was presented.
