Abstract

The territory of the Western Siberia is very suitable for cultivation of cruciferous oil crops (rapeseed and turnip rape) by its biological-climatic potential and soil conditions. Oil crops are widely used for human nutrition, feeding of animals, in any industries and building industry, medicine and perfumery. These crops oil contains many unsaturated fatty acids (oleic, linoleic, linolenic) which are essential in human nutrition. The main task of turnip rape breeding is productivity increase; much attention is paid to oil increase in seeds and improvements of oil quality (low content of glucosinolates in seeds and erucic acid absence in oil). We presented brief characteristics of released turnip rape varieties: productivity (seed yield, oil content and oil yield) and fatty acid composition of oil. The created varieties are differed with their high adaptability to severe Siberian conditions and resistance to the main bio- and abiofactors of environments.
