Joint project: development and review of confinement strategies for rape

Seeds of oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) can persist in the soil over several years by becoming secondarily dormant. Then they can germinate in the following crops as volunteers. Gene dispersal and seed admixtures through the presence of volunteer rape in a field, particularly in another oilseed rape crop, can be an unwanted effect. The main aim of the project is to investigate whether “low-“ or “no-dormancy genotypes” could be developed and used as confinement-strategies to control gen dispersal of volunteer rape.
