Variety Description

Varieties used for comparison: 'PPS98-274', 'PPS02-364' and 'Ebony'

Summary: 'PPS04-205' has a shorter beak than 'Ebony' and a shorter pedicel than 'PPS98-274'. The silique of 'PPS04-205' is shorter than 'PPS98-274', 'PPS02-364' and 'Ebony'. 'PPS04-205' matures later than 'PPS98-274' and 'PPS02-364'. The plant height at maturity of 'PPS04-205' is shorter than 'PPS98-274'. 'PPS04-205' is resistant to glufosinate ammonium herbicides while 'Ebony' is not.

DISEASE RESISTANCE: resistant to Blackleg (Leptosphaeria maculans asexual stage: Phoma lingam) and White Rust (Albugo candida, races 7a & 2v)

Origin & Breeding History: 'PPS04-205' is a restorer line (R-line in the process of F1 hybrid production). 'PPS04-205' was derived as a doubled haploid line 01-138-048 containing the Rf3 gene in a homozygous state. The cross was made in Canada in 2001 and DH line extraction was made in Canada in 2002. The pedigree of 'PPS04-205' is as follows: 00NN101109/98NN101159. 'PPS04-205' was selected in 2003 on the basis of fertility restoration of numerous male sterile lines and expression of tolerance to glufosinate-ammonium herbicide. Other selection parameters included: height, vigour, maturity, blackleg resistance, oil content, fatty acid profile, glucosinolate content and combining ability. Breeder Seed production commenced in the 2004 season.

Tests & Trials: Test and trials were conducted in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan during the summers of 2005 and 2006. There were two replications arranged in a randomized complete block design. Each plot consisted of 3 rows that were spaced 50 centimeters apart with a row length of 6 meters.
