“…Oil seeds represent one of the most important crops in the world, because they are energy dense foods, due to their high oil content, and good sources of proteins, fibers, vitamins, and minerals. Oil seed crops are primarily grown for edible oil production, and the fat yields of oil seeds are generally quite high, although variable from crop to crop and depending on the methods of extraction [ 1 , 2 ]. It is worth highlighting that some specific oil seeds have recently attracted particular attention for their additional ‘benefits’.…”

“…Nevertheless, oil seed processing leads to the conspicuous production of waste materials. These can, however, be recovered as by-products (hull, meal, oil cakes) useful for integration into animal as well as human diets due to their valuable nutrient compositions [ 1 ]. In particular, the term ‘seed oil cake’ (SOC) indicates the mass deriving from the oil extraction process from seeds that contains a high protein content together with a variable amount of fat still present.…”

Various different agri-food biomasses might be turned into renewable sources for producing biodegradable and edible plastics, potentially attractive for food, agricultural and cosmeceutical sectors. In this regard, different seeds utilized for edible and non-edible oil extraction give rise to high amounts of organic by-products, known as seed oil cakes (SOCs), potentially able to become protein-rich resources useful for the manufacturing of biodegradable films. This study reports the potential of SOC derived from Argania spinosa (argan), a well-known plant containing valuable non-refined oil suitable for food or cosmetic use, to be a promising valuable source for production of a protein-based matrix of biomaterials to be used in the pharmaco-cosmetic sector. Thus, glycerol-plasticized films were prepared by casting and drying using different amounts of argan seed protein concentrate, in the presence of increasing glycerol concentrations, and characterized for their morphological, mechanical, barrier, and hydrophilicity properties. In addition, their antioxidant activity and effects on cell viability and wound healing were investigated. The hydrophobic nature of the argan protein-based films, and their satisfying physicochemical and biological properties, suggest a biorefinery approach for the recycling of argan SOC as valuable raw material for manufacturing new products to be used in the cosmeceutical and food industries.

“…With the increasing human population and the intensifying of city urbanization, the scale of N deposition is likely to increase in the foreseeable decades, which will have considerable impacts on plant physiology and metabolism (Stevens et al, 2018; Sun et al, 2020). Oilseed crops are a large family of plants that are closely associated with human health and nutrition (Abiodun, 2017); thus, evaluating and predicting their seed yield and quality responses to global N deposition has great ecological and agronomic significance. The principal findings of our meta‐analysis were as follows: (1) simulated N deposition increases the leaf Pn, seed N content, and HI of oilseed crops and, thus, positively influences seed yield; (2) simulated N deposition has distinct effects on oilseed crop quality, seen specifically in significantly increased protein content but decreased oil content; (3) the responses of oilseed crop seeds in terms of yield and quality to simulated N deposition were driven by multiple factors, including the crop species and N deposition rate, as well as duration of N deposition.…”

Oilseed crops are widely planted and are closely associated with human nutrition and health. Globally, increased nitrogen (N) deposition has a significant impact on agricultural production; however, in‐depth knowledge of oilseed crop yields and quality is still lacking. Here, we performed a global meta‐analysis from 128 published papers with 462 paired observations to evaluate the response of oilseed crop yields, yield composition, protein, and oil content to simulated N deposition. The meta‐analysis showed that simulated N deposition significantly increased oilseed crop yields in a dose‐dependent and duration‐dependent manner. The yield compositions were also changed by N deposition, where pod numbers per plant (PNP) and seed weights per pod were significantly increased. Interestingly, our analysis identified PNP as the key factor determining the oilseed crop yield response to simulated N deposition. Additionally, the form of N deposition had no striking influence on either yields or yield components, whereas differences in the sensitivity in rape responses reflected differences in crop species. In terms of oilseed crop quality, although simulated N deposition increased the seed protein content in a dose‐dependent manner, there was a significant negative impact on the seed oil content. Furthermore, this negative correlation between seed oil content and biomass under simulated N deposition implies adverse effects caused by a dilution effect. Overall, our results suggest discrete responses of oilseed crop yield, seed protein and oil content to simulated N deposition. This study has ecological and biological implications for oilseed crop yield and quality responses facing global N deposition.

“…Vegetable oil is used as a biofuel, so it has a great future as an essential energy source (Lu et al, 2011 ). Factually, the primary sources of vegetable oils are oilseed crops, including rapeseed, soybean, cotton, peanut, palm oil, and sunflower (Abiodun, 2017 ), which are used in human diets as salad dressings, oil, margarine, frying oil, and numerous other products. Due to their specific chemical and physical properties, vegetable oil is an important feedstock used to produce multiple industrial materials, including promising applications such as biofuel and constituting an alternative to petroleum derivatives (Lu et al, 2011 ).…”

Adaptation Strategies to Improve the Resistance of Oilseed Crops to Heat Stress Under a Changing Climate: An Overview

et al. 2021

Temperature is one of the decisive environmental factors that is projected to increase by 1. 5°C over the next two decades due to climate change that may affect various agronomic characteristics, such as biomass production, phenology and physiology, and yield-contributing traits in oilseed crops. Oilseed crops such as soybean, sunflower, canola, peanut, cottonseed, coconut, palm oil, sesame, safflower, olive etc., are widely grown. Specific importance is the vulnerability of oil synthesis in these crops against the rise in climatic temperature, threatening the stability of yield and quality. The natural defense system in these crops cannot withstand the harmful impacts of heat stress, thus causing a considerable loss in seed and oil yield. Therefore, a proper understanding of underlying mechanisms of genotype-environment interactions that could affect oil synthesis pathways is a prime requirement in developing stable cultivars. Heat stress tolerance is a complex quantitative trait controlled by many genes and is challenging to study and characterize. However, heat tolerance studies to date have pointed to several sophisticated mechanisms to deal with the stress of high temperatures, including hormonal signaling pathways for sensing heat stimuli and acquiring tolerance to heat stress, maintaining membrane integrity, production of heat shock proteins (HSPs), removal of reactive oxygen species (ROS), assembly of antioxidants, accumulation of compatible solutes, modified gene expression to enable changes, intelligent agricultural technologies, and several other agronomic techniques for thriving and surviving. Manipulation of multiple genes responsible for thermo-tolerance and exploring their high expressions greatly impacts their potential application using CRISPR/Cas genome editing and OMICS technology. This review highlights the latest outcomes on the response and tolerance to heat stress at the cellular, organelle, and whole plant levels describing numerous approaches applied to enhance thermos-tolerance in oilseed crops. We are attempting to critically analyze the scattered existing approaches to temperature tolerance used in oilseeds as a whole, work toward extending studies into the field, and provide researchers and related parties with useful information to streamline their breeding programs so that they can seek new avenues and develop guidelines that will greatly enhance ongoing efforts to establish heat stress tolerance in oilseeds.
