Seed oil and protein content was determined in 12 oil plant species represented with 1-4 cultivars or local populations. It was found that some species have very high oil content, like sesame (55.01%) and euphorbia (48.65%). Safflower is a species that showed low oil content in our conditions (12.00%) in comparison to data obtained in other agro-ecological environments. Spring false flax had high oil (36.57%) and protein content (26.39%) and it could prove to be a good replacement for rapeseed in the conditions of extensive agricultural production. On the basis of the obtained results for seed protein content, the species sesame, flax, okra and lens fall to the same group as soybean which is the most important protein crop. The collection of oil plant species should be analyzed in more detail and used as a source of desired genes in the breeding of species that will be used as alternative source of healthy food, biodiesel and raw materials for the industry.
