Variety Description

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

Summary: 'PPS05-251' has a shorter pedicel than 'PPS98-274'. 'PPS05-251' flowers later than 'PPS02-364' and matures later than 'PPS98-274', 'PPS02-364' and 'Ebony'. 'PPS05-251' is resistant to glufosinate ammonium herbicides while 'Ebony' is not.

AGRONOMIC CHARACTERISTICS: fair to good resistance to lodging

QUALITY CHARACTERISTICS: erucic acid 0.01% of total fatty acids, oil content 49.4% of whole dried seed, protein 23.9% of dried oil free meal, low glucosinolates 15.4 µmol/g

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

Origin & Breeding History: 'PPS05-251' is a restorer line (R-line in the process of F1 hybrid production). 'PPS05-251' was derived as a double haploid line 04-239-046 containing the Rf3 gene in a homozygous state. The cross was made in Canada in 2003 and the DH line extraction was made in Canada in 2003/2004. The pedigree of 'PPS05-251' is as follows: 02NN300302/01NN202767. 'PPS05-251' was selected in 2004 and 2005 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 2005 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.


Comparison tables for 'PPS05-251' with reference varieties 'PPS98-274', 'PPS02-364' and 'Ebony'

Means are based on a two year average of 60 plant parts for silique, beak, pedicel and height characteristics. Differences are significant at the 2% probability level based on LSD values.
