They love me. They love me not. Wait, both of them love me?

Researchers found out that a love triangle is happening in the genome of Canola, a plant used for making cooking oil.  

They believe that Canola has the most complex genome among flowering plants that formed during the Neolithic Era.

This occurred when Brassica Rapa (B.Rapa) and Brassica Oleracea (B. Oleracea) combined in the wild, researchers said.

B.Rapa's family is composed of turnips and cabages, while, B. Oleracea is composed of cauliflower, cabbage, collards, broccoli and kale.

Andrew Paterson explained that canola experiences a genetic love triangle with canola sometimes favoring either B. Rapa or B. Aleracea and sometimes both.

Canola is rich in saturated fat and Omega 3 fatty acids but it can be used to produce farm animal feeds and create biodiesel.

Peterson believes that this new genome sequence can open new doors to accelerate the canola improvement.

He believes that they could use this knowledge to know the plant's flowering time and make it more resistant to diseases.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture agrees that canola reproductions have grown rapidly over the past forty, rising as the second largest producer of oil crop.

They explained that there is a large amount of production in the northern plains of America but there has been a developing production in South Carolina.

Canada and Native Europe also grown canola but during winter Georgia cultivates this plant, researchers explain.

They believe that their discovery can pave the way to improve the plant which could increase profit of farmers and oil industries.
