AB: A linkage map of the rapeseed genome comprising
204 RFLP markers, 2 RAPD markers, and 1 phenotypic
marker was constructed using a F1 derived doubled
haploid population obtained from a cross between the
winter rapeseed varieties 'Mansholt's Hamburger Raps'
and 'Samourai'. The mapped markers were distributed on
19 linkage groups covering 1441 cM. About 43% of these
markers proved to be of dominant nature; 36% of the
mapped marker loci were duplicated, and conserved
linkage arrangements indicated duplicated regions in the
rapeseed genome. Deviation from Mendelian segregation
ratios was observed for 27.8% of the markers. Most of
these markers were clustered in 7 large blocks on 7
linkage groups, indicating an equal number of effective
factors responsible for the skewed segregations. Using
cDNA probes for the genes of acyl-carrier-protein (ACP)
and beta ketoacyl-ACP-synthase I (KASI) we were able to
map three and two loci, respectively, for these genes. The
linkage map was used to localize QTLs for seed
glucosinolate content by interval mapping. Four QTLs
could be mapped on four linkage groups, giving a
minimum number of factors involved in the genetic
control of this trait. The estimated effects of the mapped
QTLs explain about 74% of the difference between both
parental lines and about 61.7% of the phenotypic variance
observed in the doubled haploid mapping population.

LA: English
AB: Two varieties of winter rapeseed (Brassica napus)
(Cobra and Liborius) were planted at Brownstown, IL to
evaluate the effect of planting date, nitrogen (N) rate, N
application timing, and tillage on grain yield and oil
content of the grain, grain moisture, plant lodging, winter
survival, and plant N content. Results indicated that
planting rapeseed approximately one to two weeks prior
to winter wheat in this region is preferable to planting
earlier. Grain yield showed a significant linear increase
with delayed planting date from 25 August to 24
September. Grain yield also increased quadratically with
increasing N rate (with an optimum of about 250 kg N/ha)
and increased (0.15 Mg/ha) due to splitting the N fertilizer
into two even applications. An increase in grain yield was
accompanied by an increase in grain moisture with
Liborius (late maturing) having significantly greater grain
moisture than Cobra. Winter survival increased linearly
with delayed planting date but, was accompanied by a
significant quadratic increase in plant lodging. Chisel, as
compared to disk tillage, increased plant lodging slightly,
but decreased winter survival slightly. Neither delayed
planting, N rate, nor splitting of spring N affected oil
content. Liborius produced significantly more oil than did
Cobra.

AB: A crucial issue in the theory of technological
change--the transformation of knowledge into
commodities in agriculture--is examined through the role
that technoscience played in the transformation of
rapeseed (Brassica campestris and B. napus) from a minor
crop used largely for marine lubricants into a major global
competitor in edible oil markets. The study is based on a
content analysis of the worldwide bibliography of
rapeseed. A network approach is used to show that
emergence and successful development of the rapeseed
commodity subsector included three simultaneously
occurring and interacting developments: production of
new knowledge, modification of commodities, and
extension of rapeseed production networks. Implications
of the network approach for the analysis of agricultural
development are discussed.

AB: While the constructedness of manufactured products
is obvious, plants and animals retain their naturalness
even as they are transformed. Yet, there is little doubt that
the transformation of plants is a powerful method by
which we socialize nature such that it better suits our
purposes. This paper examines the transformation of
rapeseed (Brassica campestris L. and B. napus L.) from a
minor crop used largely for marine lubricants into a major
global competitor in edible oil markets. This
transformation was brought about in part by the
elimination of two components defined as potentially
toxic, erucic acid and glucosinolates, as well as by
changes in the location of production and processing
techniques, and by the suitability of the crop for planting
and harvesting by equipment designed for wheat. Of
particular note is the role of the Canadian State in
providing the large-scale financing necessary for the
research to transform the commodity from a specialty crop
into a bulk commodity.

TITLE:
RAPESEED OIL AS A FUEL FOR AGRICULTURE
OBJECTIVES:
To generate information on (1) higher yielding rapeseed
cultivars with fatty
acid composition suitable for diesel fuel and co-products,
(2) more efficient
and environmentally acceptable processes for converting
rapeseed oil to diesel
fuel and associated co-products, (3) more efficient
methods and technology for
storing, handling and utilizing diesel fuel from rapeseed,
and (4) economic
costs and potential benefits associated with producing and
using rapeseed oil as
a fuel extender.
APPROACH:
New cultivars of rapeseed will be developed with
emphasis toward improved
yield,winter hardiness, oil quality and acceptability for use
as fuels and co-
products. Improved production practices to enhance
profitability will be
studied. New and novel methods for processing oil into
biodiesel,
environmentally friendly lubricants and other products
will be developed. These
new fuels will be tested for effect on engine durability, on
materials, and the
environment. Economic costs and returns associated with
rapeseed production for
these new uses will be evaluated.

PROGRESS: 9401 TO 9412
Emissions testing of an on-road vehicle with a 5.9 liter
turbocharged,
intercooled, direct injected diesel engine had the following
results: HC reduced
by 52.4%, CO reduced 47.6%, CO2 increased 0.9%, NOx
reduced 10.0% when 100%
vegetable oil fuel was compared to low sulfur diesel
control fuel. The hydraulic
fluid properties of raw rapeseed oil compared with a
commercially available rape
oil based fluid and a petroleum based fluid showed that
rape oil has good
hydraulic fluid properties. Some of the properties (flash
point, viscosity
index, mist spray flammability) were better than the
counterparts. An economic
study developed data on the feasibility of manufacturing
Biodiesel fuel with
canola produced in northern Idaho/Eastern Washington.
Spring canola returned the
lowest amount of the commonly grown spring crops. The
cost of Biodiesel was
$2.07 per gallon based on a plant size of 75 MT of seed
per day. A $0.01 per
pound increase in the price of canola, rapeseed, soybean
oil and beef tallow
were produced for fuel characterization and engine
performance studies. The
physical and chemical properties and the performance in
an engine were
comparable for both methyl and ethyl esters. Desirable
attributes of the ethyl
esters were lower smoke capacity, lower exhaust
temperature and lower pour
point. Pour points for the Biodiesel fuels varied from 1 to
25 degrees C higher
than for D2, viscosities were 1.3 to 2.1 times higher and
sulfur was only 20 to

TITLE:
DEVELOPMENT OF PRODUCTION, MARKETING
AND UTILIZATION OF CANOLA AS AN
ALTERNATIVE
CROP IN MICHIGAN.
OBJECTIVES:
To explore the agronomic, economic and quality aspects
of producing canola over
a wide range of environmental and soil conditions in
Michigan.
APPROACH:
Test performance (yield, growth parameters) of 12
currently available canola
varieties over 7 different areas representing widely
different environmental and
soil conditions. Test the quality (fatty acids, total proteins,
erucic acid,
glucosinolates) of replications of each variety in all
locations. To conduct
collorary tests at one location for best agronomic
management of canola as to
optimum date of planting, seeding rate, fertility, and other
inputs. To compare
economics of producing canola and marketing canola in
Michigan to that of other
field crops.

Studies during 1991 to 1993 included variety trials,
fertility, seeding rate,
agronomic and economic comparison of canola vs. wheat,
and no-till vs.
conventional tillage studies. Research shows that both
winter and spring canola
can be profitably produced in Michigan and have helped
identify best production
practices. Graduate studies completed, included (1) effect
of seed maturity on
development and vigor, (2) effect of sulfur and drought
stress on the
morphological traits of spring canola, and (3) multivariate
analysis and
heterotic effect studies in winter canola. A fourth study is
being conducted on
the biotechnology of winterhardiness. Potato chips, fried
in canola and corn oil
stored at 10 C and 75 C were evaluated weekly for color,
flavor, oil content and
rancidity. Significant differences occurred between chips
fried in canola vs.
corn oil for Agtron color, peroxide values and conjugated
diene concentrations.
Results were better for canola samples than for the corn
oil. Samples treated
with rosemary were not as good as TBHQ and only
slightly better than untreated
controls. A state-wide survey of canola growers was used
to identify production
and marketing constraints faced by growers and to analyze
production capacity
and growth potential and to collect comprehensive
information from growers about
production inputs, acreage, success, and market
opportunities as well as their
future intentions about canola.

TITLE:
Sustainable cropping systems and cultural practices for
oilseed crops.
OBJECTIVES:
Develop cropping systems & cultural practices to improve
yield and/or reduce
unit costs of canola production while preserving soil
quality & to evaluate the
regional adaptation of new oilseed cultivars by
determining: the influence of
crop rotation on yield & production economics of canola
& cereal crops by 1993
the influence of crop rotation & tillage practices on soil
quality parameters by
1995; the relationship between moisture & temperature
during the growing season
with B. campestris canola yield on fallow by 1995; &
initiating studies during
1994 to determine what if any relationship exists between
soil moisture growing
season precipitation, growing season temperatures & yield
of B. napus canola,
pulse crops, & other special crops as appropriate.

PROGRESS:
1. PARTIALLY MET. A rain and hail storm during July
of 1992 caused considerable
flooding and crop damage in long-term cropping systems
and crop rotation studies
at Scott. As much as was possible, data was collected
from these studies but
may be of limited value. The long term impact of this
event on the integrity of
the studies can only be completely evaluated over the next
1-2 years but
preliminary observations suggest that their integrity has
not been jeopardized.
Studies at Loon Lake were conducted as in preceding
years. 2. MET. Co-operative
oilseed and pulse crops tests were conducted at Scott,
Lashburn and Loon Lake.
Early frost caused some damage to late maturing B. napus
tests. The value of
yield and quality data from affected tests has yet to be
determined. B.
campestris, other oilseed and pulse crops were only
minimally affected and data
would prove fully useful. 3. MET. Monitoring of weed
incidence in canola crop
management studies was conducted in 1992. 4. NOT
MET. Publication of results of
studies on crop rotation impact on production economics
will not be submitted
until mid 1993, due to delays in completion of data
analyses. This goal to be
carried over to 1993-94. ADDITIONAL
ACHIEVEMENTS: 5. Extensive analyses of long
term canola production data at Scott has revealed a
significant correlation
between both precipitation received and mean daily
temperatures during the fall
bloom to seed development stage of B. campestris canola.
Additional analyses
are planned to further define the relationship and attempt
to extend it to B.
napus and Sinapis alba using a separate seeding dates
database. This
information should prove very useful in defining optimal
dates of seeding and to
estimate risks of yield loss and frost damage associated
with seeding at other
than optimal dates based on long-term climatic data. 6. A
study to compare zero
with conventional tillage practices for oilseed, cereal and
pulse crops was
initiated on a gray wooded soil at the Loon Lake project
farm site.
