Description 
Winter turnip rape (Brassica rapa spp. oleifera) is an underutilized crop that deserves to be revitalized for use in high-latitude agriculture. In general, the main difference between oilseed rape and turnip rape is in the ploidy level, oilseed rape being tetraploid and thus more rigorous in its growth habit and more productive, whereas turnip rape is diploid. [Pirjo et al. (2011) Revitalizing the winter turnip rape crop in the northern latitudes. Acta Agriculturae Scandinavica, Soil and Plant Science; 61: 195-201]
