Abstract
Plant Sci. 75: 205-206. Mercury summer rape (Brassica napus L.) is a h igh-erucic acid rapeseed cultivar with canola-quality meal. The oil pr ovides a good source of erucic acid for industrial applications and th e canola-quality meal can be used in the feed industry. Mercury has an average 10% yield advantage over Hero rapeseed with seed oil and prot ein contents comparable with Hero rapeseed. Mercury is adapted to the southern B. napus growing regions of western Canada.
