“…Two genotypes were selected based on different morpho-physiological, biochemical, and SSR molecular characterizations of Indian mustard genotypes [ 3 , 5 , 6 , 7 ]. These genotypes, namely CS54 and PM30, contained high and low erucic acid in their oil, respectively.…”

“…This high concentration of erucic acid in edible mustard oil makes it nutritionally unfavorable for the human diet. This is because of its role as a causative agent of a disorder of lipid metabolism called lipidosis, myocardial infarction, and increasing blood cholesterol [ 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 ]. It has also been reported as a causative agent of lipidosis in children.…”

Brassica junceais a crucial cultivated mustard species and principal oilseed crop of India and Madhya Pradesh, grown for diverse vegetables, condiments, and oilseeds. Somaclonal variation was explored as a probable source of additional variability for the manipulation of fatty acids, especially low erucic acid contents that may be valuable for this commercially important plant species. The plantlets regenerated from tissue cultures (R0), their R1 generation and respective parental lines were compared for morpho-physiological traits and fatty acid profile for the probable existence of somaclonal variations. The first putative somaclone derived from genotype CS54 contained 5.48% and 5.52% erucic acid in R0 and R1 regenerants, respectively, compared to the mother plant (41.36%). In comparison, the second somaclone acquired from PM30 exhibited a complete absence of erucic acid corresponding to its mother plant (1.07%). These putative somaclones present a source of variation for exploitation in the development of future mustard crops with low erucic acid content.

“…Genetic tools have revolutionized mustard improvement strategies, offering innovative avenues to enhance its agronomic traits and quality parameters [6,12]. Among these tools, CRISPR stands out as a powerful gene editing technology, exemplified by the work of researchers at the National Institute of Plant Genome Research in New Delhi, India, who successfully engineered mustard plants with altered glucosinolate levels, yielding palatable mustard oil [13]. Complementing this, the Barnase-barstar gene system has facilitated the development of mustard hybrids, contributing to increased yield and resilience.…”

Genetic tools have revolutionized mustard improvement strategies, offering innovative avenues to enhance its agronomic traits and quality parameters. CRISPR technology, exemplified by research at the National Institute of Plant Genome Research in India, has enabled precise manipulation of glucosinolate levels in mustard plants, improving mustard oil quality. The Barnase-barstar gene system has facilitated the development of mustard hybrids, increasing yield and resilience. Additionally, Microsatellites have emerged as indispensable tools for understanding genetic relationships within mustard populations. These genetic tools hold promise for addressing agronomic challenges and meeting market demands in mustard cultivation. However, their deployment raises ethical, regulatory, and socio-economic considerations that require careful consideration. Responsible stewardship and transparent deployment of these technologies are essential to realize their full potential in enhancing mustard crops and ensuring a sustainable future for food production. In conclusion, genetic engineering offers exciting avenues for mustard improvement, with CRISPR, the Barnase-barstar gene system, and Microsatellites playing pivotal roles in enhancing crop quality, yield potential, and resilience. As mustard continues to play a crucial role in global agriculture and food security, the responsible utilization of these genetic tools holds promise for meeting the evolving needs of farmers and consumers worldwide. Furthermore, the paper briefly discusses the application of these genetic tools in enhancing Dhara Mustard, a popular variety in Indian agriculture, emphasizing its potential impact on addressing agricultural challenges and meeting consumer demands.
