Oilseed Rape Crop : Physiological and Morphological Differences Between Spring Cultivars Species Of Oilseed Rape

Brassica oilseed rape is one of the valuable oilseeds in which has been attracted attention in recently years. Oilseed rape in comparison with other oilseeds has highest growth in recent decades and today has the third place after soybean and palm oil. The world area of rapeseed has increased from just over 7 million ha in 1965 to almost 27 million ha in 2005. This enhance shows a doubling of the area grown every 20 years. This present book was designed in three chapters. First chapter has shown general information regarding oilseed rape and next chapter has presented some literature reviews about physiological traits and yield formation of oilseed rapes. Third chapter has presented finding and results about study of some physiological and morphological traits of spring cultivars species of oilseed rape. In our research, we have evaluated physiological and morphological traits of 13 spring oilseed rape cultivars belong to three species of B.napus, B.rapa and B.juncea. Study of this present book seems to be useful for researchers, master and Ph.D. students who especial work on physiology of spring oilseed rape.
