Abstract
The oilseed crop plays a pivotal role in the agricultural economy. The main breeding objectives of the oilseed crop are to increase the yield of seeds and oil, improve the quality of the oil and meal according to its use, and develo** stable biotic and abiotic-resistant/tolerant varieties. Adding to the yield potential of varieties is a natural way to enhance the quantity of both oil and meal. The fatty acid composition determines the oil’s quality, whereas the desired fatty acid profile is determined by the oil’s consumption. Reduced erucic and eicosenoic acid content has significantly improved the quality of edible oil in rapeseed and mustard species, whereas high oleic acid and tocopherol content has been achieved in sunflower. With the advancement in genetics, genomics and availability of sequenced information of genomes, the traditional breeding is replaced by genomics-assisted breeding which will lead to the effective development of new-generation high-yielding oil genotypes. In this review, we aim to provide an overview of the various advanced approaches for genomics-assisted breeding to enhance genetic gain in yield and nutritional quality.
