Abstract
In Japan, Many oilseeds are imported from various foreign countries. Recent research of plant breeding in the world has been made by means of customary breeding but also such new biotechnology as tissue culture, genetic technology, and so on. Concrete targets of plant breeding has been as follows. As for soybean, those are yield up, increase in oil and protein contents, improvement of fatty acids composition, and decrease in lipoxygenase activity. As for rapeseed, decrease in erucic acid and glucosinolate, and improvement of fatty acids composition. As for palm, improvement of oil quality, and development of lower tree. As for sunflower and safflower, high oleic oils have been commercially developed. In future, research of plant breeding of oilseeds will be more faster and successful by the application of the advanced biotechnology.
