Agriculture faces enormous challenges including the need to substantially increase productivity, reduce environmental footprint, and deliver renewable alternatives that are being addressed by developing new oil crops for the future. The efforts include domestication of Lepidium spp. using genomics-aided breeding as a cold hardy perennial high-yielding oil crop that provides substantial environmental benefits, expands the geography for oil crops, and improves farmers' economy. In addition, genetic engineering in Crambe abyssinica may lead to a dedicated industrial oil crop to replace fossil oil. Redirection of photosynthates from starch to oil in plant tubers and cereal endosperm also provides a path for enhancing oil production to meet the growing demands for food, fuel, and biomaterials. Insect pheromone components are produced in seed oil plants in a cost-effective and environmentally friendly pest management replacing synthetically produced pheromones. Autophagy is explored for increasing crop fitness and oil accumulation using genetic engineering in Arabidopsis.

未来的油料作物。

农业面临着巨大的挑战，包括需要大幅度提高生产力，减少环境足迹并提供可再生替代品，而这些需求正在通过开发新的油料作物来解决。这项工作包括驯化小夜蛾属。使用基因组学育种作为耐寒多年生高产油料作物，可提供巨大的环境效益，扩大油料作物的地理范围，并改善农民的经济。此外，克拉比（Crambe abyssinica）的基因工程可能会导致专用的工业油料作物代替化石油。在植物块茎和谷物胚乳中将光合产物从淀粉重定向为油，也提供了一条途径来提高油脂产量，以满足对食品，燃料和生物材料日益增长的需求。昆虫信息素成分是在种子油厂中以经济有效且环保的害虫管理方法生产的，代替了合成生产的信息素。在拟南芥中利用基因工程研究了自噬，以增加作物的适应性和油脂积累。
