The Ceres variety became a significant achievement in breeding, marking the transition of European rapeseed production to new quality standards in 1986. It is characterized as a "00-quality" variety, which implies the absence of erucic acid and a low level of glucosinolates.
Due to its historical importance, the variety was used for many years as a reference sample in scientific research and field comparisons in Europe. Currently, detailed modern descriptors of the variety are unavailable as it is classified as a historical breeding achievement.
