Variety traits
Papaver somniferum L.
Oil content is the percentage of crude fat in the seeds of the opium poppy, which is a key breeding indicator of quality for oilseed varieties.
In the reference 18 varieties crop Opium poppy, where this is mentioned in the description.
For oilseed varieties of opium poppy, typical fat content values range from 40 to 50%, with values of 50% and above being considered high. Varieties of the Eurasian subspecies Papaver somniferum ssp. eurasiaticum are targeted for industrial oil production.
Oil content serves as a critical criterion in breeding efforts aimed at increasing the yield of vegetable oil while simultaneously reducing the content of narcotics-active alkaloids in the plant. The final indicator depends on the genetic potential of the variety and growing conditions.
