Abstract: This article described the research situation about plant type breeding of rape, sum up the main elements and study progress about ideotypes of rape. The plant type breeding of rape concluded before the blossom period, flowering stage, pod formation stage. Before the blossom period, the darker leaves, erect type leaves and higher dry -matter yield maybe the ideotypies of rape. In flowering stage, the ideotypies of rape may include the smaller petal area and larger effective photosynthetic. In the pod formation stage, light ventilation, larger pericarp and stem bark superficial area, stronger photosynthesis maybe the ideotypies of rape.
