The Lipetsk State regional agricultural experimental station was founded in 1956. The All-Russian Research and Design and Technological Institute of Rapeseed was established on its basis in 1986. Since December 2020, the Lipetsk Rapeseed Research Institute has been established — a branch of V. S. Pusrtovoit All-Russian Research Institute of Oil Crops.
Scientists of the branch are engaged in the production and sale of seeds, marketable products of crops and processed products, and production waste.
The main directions of breeding and scientific work
- Development of new breeding methods and development on their basis of highly productive, competitive, resistant to main pathogens and abiotic stressors hybrids and varieties of oil and essential-oil crops, adapted to different soil and climatic zones of the Russian Federation and meeting production requirements.
- Development of the biological basis for breeding oil and essential-oil crops, including research in genetics, physiology, biochemistry, immunology, botany, and agroecology.
- Development and implementation of high-precision, environmentally acceptable, cost-effective, resource-saving technologies of primary and industrial seed production, technologies of marketable production of oil, essential-oil, and other crops for different soil and climatic zones of the Russian Federation.
- Development and testing of cost-effective biological and chemical means of protection of agricultural plants from pests, and diseases during plant growth and seeds during storage.
- Development and support of genetic collections for important breeding traits.

The Lipetsk State Regional Agricultural Experimental Station was established by the Resolution of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and the Council of Ministers of the USSR on February 14, 1956, and the Order of the Ministry of Agriculture of the RSFSR of June 21, 1956. According to the Regulation of the Council of Ministers of the RSFSR on January 17, 1979, the Order of the Ministry of Agriculture of the RSFSR on February 2, 1979, and the Order of the All-Union Academy of Agricultural Sciences on February 7, 1979, the Lipetsk State Regional Agricultural Experimental Station was placed under the direct supervision of the All-Russian branch of the All-Union Academy of Agricultural Sciences.
In 1986, the All-Russian Research and Design Institute of Rapeseed (since 2010, the All-Russian Research Institute of Rapeseed of the Russian Academy of Agricultural Sciences) was established on the basis of the Lipetsk State Regional Agricultural Experimental Station by order of the Gosagroprom of the RSFSR dated August 15, 1986, and by Order of the All-Russian Branch of the All-Russian Academy of Agricultural Sciences dated August 26, 1986.
Following the Federal Law of September 27, 2013, «On the Russian Academy of Sciences, Reorganisation of State Academies of Sciences and Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation» and the Order of the Government of the Russian Federation of 30 December 2013, All-Russian Research Institute of Rapeseed of the Russian Academy of Agricultural Sciences was transferred to the Federal Agency of Scientific Organizations (FASO of Russia). Following the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation on May 15, 2018, «On the structure of federal executive bodies» and the Order of the Government of the Russian Federation on May 30, 2018, All-Russian Research Institute of Rapeseed was transferred to the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation.
Based on the Order of the Russian Ministry of Education and Science on December 18, 2019 «On the reorganization of the Federal State Budgetary Scientific Institution «V. S. Pustovoit All-Russian Research Institute of Oil Crops» (VNIIMK), All-Russian Research Institute of Rapeseed was reorganized by merging with VNIIMK.
According to changes in the statutes of the Federal State Budget Scientific Institution «Federal Scientific Center «V. S. Pustovoit All-Russian Research Institute of Oil Crops», approved by Order of the Russian Ministry of Education and Science on November 27, 2020, Lipetsk Research Institute of Rapeseed — a branch of V. S. Pustovoit All-Russian Research Institute of Oil Crops was established.
There are 3 varieties of spring rapeseed in State variety trials: Prometheus, Erebus, Forpost, and mustard variety Maria.
Spring rapeseed varieties of the institute are cultivated on about 30% of the total crop acreage of rapeseed in the Russian Federation.
