Various species of Brassica (Brassicaceae)are relevant to humans, since they supply edible products such as vegetables,condiments and oils, as well as materials such as industrial lubricants. After Canada and China, India holds a leading position in the rapeseed – mustard economy of the world: ranked second in terms of area of cultivation and third in production. Canola, a recently developed hybrid of Brassica, is reported to meet one-third of edible oil needs of India.

Abstract


Various species of Brassica (Brassicaceae)are relevant to humans, since they supply edible products such as vegetables,condiments and oils, as well as materials such as industrial lubricants. After Canada and China, India holds a leading position in the rapeseed – mustard economy of the world: ranked second in terms of area of cultivation and third in production. Canola, a recently developed hybrid of Brassica, is reported to meet one-third of edible oil needs of India.
