SURVEY OF SEED STORAGE COMPONENTS IN ETHIOPIAN MUSTARD (Brassica carinata A. Braun)

摘要

Ethiopian mustard (Brassica carinata A. Braun) is an important crop within its natural environment (Ethiopia) and is increasingly being looked on as an additional oilseed crop with high potential for the dry areas of southern Europe, where its droughttolerance and pest and disease resistance may make it suitable as an alternative oilseed within the crop rotation In addition, it contains many agronomic traits that would be beneficial if they could be incorporated within other Brassica crops grown inmore temperate areas of Europe (Fereres et al. 1983; Gugel et al. 1990).
