Abstract
Yellow-coated seeds from theBrassica campestris cultivars Tobin and Candle were heavier and contained more oil and protein than the dark-coated seeds from the same sample. In addition, the yellow-coated seeds had lower levels of erucic acid, glucosinolates, chlorophyll and crude fiber. These differences were detected in both pedigreed and commercial (producer) samples, but to a larger extent in commercial samples. Reasons for the greater quality differences between yellow- and dark-coated seed could be admixtures of cultivars other than the declared ones of Tobin or Candle or changes in the seed itself as it went from the breeder’s stage to the producer stage.
