Note: this study examined the levels of anti-nutritional components of Brassica napus among Australian accessions, and 96 others representing a total 13 taxa; this taxon (as B. juncea var. integrifolia) was represented by one accession; it found a wide range of variation of glucosinolates and sinapine among wild and cultivated taxa; the values of glucosinolates for B. juncea subsp. integrifolia were higher than commercial available B. napus, but sinaline concentration was lower
