Due to growing environmental concerns and energy crisis, vegetable oils are finding their way into transportation fuels. Vegetable oils are used as a major feedstock for biodiesel production and offer significant environmental benefits with respect to resource renewability and biodegradability. Rapeseed has a higher level of oil content than other oil-based crops, while it still has several notable challenges regarding productivity, fatty acid composition, oleic acid content, early maturity, cold resistance and so on. In order to address those issues, Bioenergy Crop Research Center at Rural Development Administration has been using conventional and molecular approaches. In this review, recent rapeseed researches on development of F1 hybrid rapeseed and the cultivation in idol land(rice-harvested fields) for the production of biodiesel feedstock were explained. For large-scale expansion of rapeseed cultivation several considerations in terms of rapeseed breeding and cultivation were discussed.
