Biomass yield and heterosis of crosses within and between European winter cultivars of turnip rape (Brassica rapa L.).

Abstract excerpt

Because of its high growth rate at low temperatures in early spring, there is renewed interest in Brassica rapa as a winter crop for biomass production in Europe. The available cultivars are not developed for this purpose however. An approach for breeding bioenergy cultivars of B. rapa could be to establish populations from two or more different cultivars with high combining ability. The objective of this study...
