Low progoitrin food grade rapeseed

欧盟进口约2700万吨大豆和大豆产品用于动物饲料。国内生产替代蛋白质来源将与粮食生产争夺土地。从油菜籽中提取油后剩余的粕富含蛋白质，有望用于动物饲料，但硫代葡萄糖酸盐前告依春的存在限制了油菜籽粕在动物饲料中的更广泛使用。我们已经鉴定出一种缺乏前告依春的油菜品系。需要这种概念验证来支持我们的遗传变体的许可，用于商业化育种可食用油菜籽。我们的目标是了解低前瓜伊素性状的遗传分析，表征低前瓜伊素性状的致病突变，进行市场评估并启动知识产权保护。

The EU imports around 27 million tonnes of soybeans and soybean products for use in animal feeds. Domestic production of alternative protein sources would compete for land with food production. The meal remaining after extraction of oil from rapeseed is rich in protein and holds promise for use in animal feed, but the presence of the glucosinolate progoitrin limits the more extensive use of rapeseed meal in animal feed. We have identified a rapeseed line that lacks progoitrin. This proof-of-concept is needed to support the licencing of our genetic variant for commercial breeding of rapeseed for edible use. We aim to understand the genetic analysis of the low progoitrin trait, characterize the causative mutation for the low progoitrin trait, undertake market evaluation and initiate IP protection.
