<h3 class="story"> A <a href="http://www.bbsrc.ac.uk/" target="_blank">BBSRC</a> <a href="http://www.bbsrc.ac.uk/science/initiatives/crop_science.html" target="_blank">Innovations in Crop Science</a> Project</h3> <p> The AdVaB consortium will fill gaps in information and technology to enable research findings relating to <em>Brassica</em> genetics and genomics to be translated more rapidly into practical outcomes, particularly through genetic crop improvement. Researchers and plant breeders will be provided with tools and information to enable explicit understanding of crop traits in terms of the function of underlying genes. This will capitalise on the BBSRC-funded UK contribution to the multinational effort to sequence the complete <em>Brassica</em> 'A' genome, and previous investment in the related reference plant species Arabidopsis.</p> <p> Brassica crops are major components of UK arable agriculture and horticulture, with opportunity to exploit their vast genetic diversity. Oilseed rape, the primary source of vegetable oil in Northern Europe, is high in polyunsaturates with huge potential to provide new nutritional and renewable non-food products. Brassica vegetables contain beneficial nutrients, with elevated amounts of anti-oxidants, vitamins, anti-carcinogenic compounds, as well as uptake of minerals such as zinc and iron</p>
