About this Research Topic
Soybeans (Glycine max), peanuts (Arachis hypogaea L.), and rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) are important oilseed crops, producing 30% of the global vegetable oil production. In addition, they are also an important source of protein for humans, and annual consumption of soy protein powder accounts for 67% of global protein powder consumption. The remaining oil meal contains a large amount of protein and other nutrients, which can be used to produce non-staple food, as well as a good concentrate and fertilizer.
Although oilseed crops are of great significance to human beings, the advances in cultivation have been lagging behind that obtained in the major grain crops. Compared with the major grain crops, oil crops are, on the one hand, root nodules can fix nitrogen by symbiotic nitrogen-fixing Rhizobium for soybean and peanut, while on the other hand, oilseed crops have a common problem of succession cropping obstacle. It is necessary to develop suitable cultivation techniques for oilseed crops. Cultivation is not only the link between crops and environmental factors but also the key for crops to give full play to their production potential.
This research topic will cover a broad range of cultivation questions and mechanisms behind oilseed crops (Soybean, Peanut, and Rapeseed). The goal of this topic is to bring forward the latest research in the field of oilseed crop cultivation, narrow the yield gap, reduce the input of pesticides and fertilizers, and improve the efficiency of water and fertilizer use, thereby leading to the sustainable production of these oilseed crops.
－ Physiological and molecular basis of high-quality yield of oil crops due to effective regulation techniques;
－ Research on biotic and abiotic stress resistance of oil crops;
－ Research on resource utilization efficiency of oil crops, especially for nitrate and calcium metabolism;
－ Alleviation or elimination of succession cropping obstacle of oilseed crops and yield-increasing mechanism of oilseed crops intercropping;
－ Regulation of root microecology of oilseed crops.
