Oilseed rape is the UK's third largest crop. As well as being edible, rapeseed oil is used extensively in biodiesel. There is potential for higher-value industrial uses, for example in applications such as lubricants and hydraulic fluids, to which it brings advantages of low toxicity and biodegradability. However, rapeseed oil is thermally unstable, due to a high content of polyunsaturated fatty acids. Recent advances in predictive mutation breeding have led to the development of oilseed rape lines in which this problem has been solved. To overcome the final hurdle to commercialisation, we aim to characterise temperature responses in controlled environments of a range of these lines and investigate more closely the agronomy of these new varieties through field trials, to maximise oil content and seed yield Whilst doing this, we will produce sufficient quantities of the new types of rapeseed oil to distribute to commercial users for evaluation.

油菜是英国第三大作物。菜籽油不仅可以食用，还广泛用于生物柴油。它具有高价值工业用途的潜力，例如在润滑剂和液压油等应用中，它具有低毒性和可生物降解性的优点。然而，由于多不饱和脂肪酸含量高，菜籽油热不稳定。预测突变育种的最新进展导致了油菜品系的开发，解决了这个问题。为了克服商业化的最后障碍，我们的目标是表征一系列这些品系在受控环境中的温度响应，并通过田间试验更仔细地研究这些新品种的农学，以最大限度地提高含油量和种子产量。同时，我们将生产足够数量的新型菜籽油，分发给商业用户进行评估。
