TLDR
Mercury summer rape (Brassica napus L.) is a high-erucic acid rapeseed cultivar with canola-quality meal that is adapted to the southern B. napus growing regions of western Canada.
Abstract
Mercury summer rape (Brassica napus L.) is a high-erucic acid rapeseed cultivar with canola-quality meal. The oil provides a good source of erucic acid for industrial applications and the canola-quality meal can be used in the feed industry. Mercury has an average 10% yield advantage over Hero rapeseed with seed oil and protein contents comparable with Hero rapeseed. Mercury is adapted to the southern B. napus growing regions of western Canada. Key words: Rape (summer), high erucic acid-low glucosinolate, cultivar description

Modification of Brassica Oil Using Conventional and Transgenic Approaches

TL;DR: Although the use of natural or induced mutations in the fatty acid biosynthesis within Brassica remains a valid option for oil modification, the transgenic approach will play an increasingly important role in the development of Brassica oils with altered novel fatty add composition.
