Proteins of plant origin have a profound impact on human and animal lives. It is imposible to solve worldwide nutrition problem without taking into concern needs for proteins. Inadequate nutrition can only be improved by providing adequate proteins. Humans need c. 120 g proteins daily, a third of which should come from meat and milk. Certain population categories, such as the sick, children, pregnant women and sportspeople are more sensitive to lack of protein. Oil crops synthesise oil, which is the basic reserve material in seed, but they also synthesise high leves of protein and can serve as protein source for human and animal nutrition. Generally speaking, protein content in seed of rapeseed at site R. Sancevi (Serbia) was from 19.60% (NS-L-74) to 25.93% JR-NS-36), and at site Sombor (Serbia) from 19.26% (NS-L-7) to 24.06% and 24.09% (NS-L-46 and cultivar Mira). Genotype NS-L-74 had the lowest protein content at both testing sites. Higher protein content was evident with spring genotypes than with winter genotypes.
