  • Can abiotic stress affect oilseed crop yields?
  • While prolonged or acute exposure to any single abiotic stress can be enough to devastate oilseed crop yields in the field, several stresses often co-occur in various combinations and at varying levels, which can compound the resulting negative effects ( Elferjani and Soolanayakanahally, 2018 ).
  • How can plant growth regulators improve the growth and productivity of oilseed crops?
  • To improve the growth and productivity of oilseed crops under environmental stress, the supplementation of plant growth regulators (PGRs) either through seed or on foliage holds a superior position.
  • How do oilseed crops survive heat stress?
  • The resilience of oilseed crops under heat stress is led by conventional breeding techniques, including hybridization, artificial selection, and induced mutagenesis; though, these methods are complicated due to the polyploid nature of oil crops and require extensive time and labor investments to accomplish ( Yang et al., 2017 ).
  • Is engineered oilseed a health promoting crop?
  • Meesapyodsuk, D., Ye, S., Chen, Y., Chen, Y., Chapman, R. G., and Qiu, X. (2018). An engineered oilseed crop produces oil enriched in two very long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids with potential health-promoting properties. Met. Eng. 49, 192–200. doi: 10.1016/j.ymben.2018.08.009
  • Is heat stress a threat to oilseed crops?
  • Specifically, heat stress is a severe threat to oilseed crops as it impairs the production and quality of the yield; for example, the seed yield decreased up to 39% in camelina and 38% in canola under elevated temperature scenarios ( Jumrani and Bhatia, 2018; Ahmad et al., 2021b ).
  • Do total soluble proteins improve heat stress tolerance in oilseed crops?
  • Total soluble proteins play a vital role in improving heat stress tolerance in oilseed crops, including camellia and oilseed rape by improving plant water relations and gas exchange properties that help improve vegetative and reproductive growth under high heat stress ( Ahmad et al., 2021b, c ).
