Oil-bearing crops or oil crops include both annual (usually called oilseeds) and perennial plants whose seeds, fruits or mesocarp and nuts are valued mainly for the edible or industrial oils that are extracted from them. (FAO. 2022. World Food and Agriculture – Statistical Yearbook 2022. Rome. https://doi.org/10.4060/cc2211en)
Note
Oil crops exclude dessert and table nuts, although they are rich in oil, as well as annual oilseed plants that are either harvested green or are used for grazing and for green manure. Some oil crops are also fibre crops in that both the seeds and the fibres are harvested from the same plant (for example coconuts, kapok fruit, seed cotton, linseed and hempseed). Oilseed crops and oleaginous fruits are groupings of crops of many different botanical types that produce the same type of product: oil.

An oil spill is the release of a liquid petroleum hydrocarbon into the coastal or marine environment due to human activity. (Oregon Coastal Atlas Coastal Erosion Thesaurus markup terms in http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/A02/current/OilSpill/ cited 2023)
Oilseed cakes are the by-products generated from edible oil processing. The oilseed cakes are generally used as animal feed, plant fertilizer or soil compost due to their high protein, carbohydrate, mineral and nitrogen contents. (Teh, SS., Bekhit, AD. (2015).

Grapevine leafroll disease (GLD) is caused by a complex of vector-borne virus species in the family Closteroviridae. GLD is present in all grape-growing regions of the world, primarily affecting wine grape varieties. The disease has emerged in the last two decades as one of the major factors affecting grape fruit quality, leading to research efforts aimed at reducing its economic impact.
