Canola (Brassica napus) contributes over $14 billion to Canadian economy annually. Since yellow-seeded oilseed in Brassica species is associated with higher oil concentrations (3-5%), development of yellow-seeded canola cultivars will enhance canola oil production and significantly benefit the Canadian economy. The molecular mechanism underlying the contribution of individual seed coat color genes on oil concentration in Brassica species needs to be elucidated. After the genes underpinning natural mutations are characterized, these known genes will accelerate the development of yellow seeded B. napus canola hybrid cultivars. Ultimately, deployment of yellow-seeded canola will increase canola oil production.

油菜（Brassica napus）每年为加拿大经济贡献超过140亿加元。由于芸苔属物种中的黄籽油籽与较高的油浓度（3-5%）相关，因此黄籽油菜品种的开发将提高油菜油产量并显著有益于加拿大经济。芸苔属物种中单个种皮颜色基因对油浓度贡献的分子机制需要阐明。在确定了支持自然突变的基因之后，这些已知的基因将加速黄色种子B的发育。甘蓝型油菜杂交品种最终，黄籽油菜籽的部署将增加油菜籽油的产量。
