Low glucosinolate canola breeding: Corteva AgriscienceRecent Research Landscape

Rapeseed oil and meal utility is limited by high erucic acid and glucosinolate levels, necessitating specific breeding for low-content agronomic traits.

What technical problems is Corteva Agriscience addressing in Low glucosinolate canola breeding?

Hybrid agronomic trait instability

(22)evidences

Elevated glucosinolate levels in rapeseed meal cause metabolic disorders and reduced palatability in livestock feed applications.

Meal glucosinolate quality degradation

(14)evidences

Glucosinolates in rapeseed meal act as anti-nutritional factors that limit its use as a high-quality protein source for livestock feed.
