Abstract:
The rapid increase of greenhouse gases (GHG) emission and the depletion fossil fuel are currently viewed as the main challenges of modern industrial development. Currently, the main perspective is held by the oilbased biofuels, in particular, biodiesel, biojet fuel (e.g. HEFA), etc. Nowadays, Abyssinian mustard (Brassica carinata) is considered as one of the most promising among the emerging non-traditional oil feedstocks for oil-based biofuel production. B. carinata has never been cultivated in Ukraine before, while conventionally rapeseed, sunflower and soybean are grown for oil production purposes. Here we report about the successful introduction and cultivation of B. carinata in Ukraine, as well as about performance of the introduced and bred B. carinata genotypes has been investigated. Therefore, in this study, we have investigated the morphology, adaptability and yield traits of B. carinata germplasm collection bred by joint efforts of the National Botanical Garden (NBG) and the Institute of Food Biotechnology and Genomics (IFBG) of National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine.
