“Boram” is a new F1 hybrid of rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) with early maturing, high yield and high oleic acid. This
cultivar was developed from the cross between Mokpo-CGMS (male steile line) and 8634-B-1-3-1-8 (restore line) for the
production of edible oil and biodiesel in 2006. Yield trials were conducted from 2007 to 2008 and regional adaptation trials were
examined at four locations in 2008. “Boram” has green and parted leaf, yellowish flower, and black seed coat. The ripening period
of “Boram” is similar to “Sunmang”, but 3 days faster than “Tammiyuchae”. The average seed yield of the regional adaptation
trials was 424 kg/10a, which was 11 and 48% higher than “Sunmang” and “Tammiyuchae” variety. Total oil content of “Boram”
was 44.2%. In fatty acid composition, “Boram” has no erucic acid. However, oleic acid content is 68.5%, which is 3.7 and 5.4%
higher than “Tammiyuchae” and “Sunmang”. And total glucosinolate content was 2.27mg/g. Therefore this variety is recommended
as a leading variety at southwestern areas including Jeonnam, Jeonbuk and Kyeongnam provinces and Jeju island of Korea.
