AGRONOMIC CHARACTERISTICS: fair resistance to lodging

QUALITY CHARACTERISTICS: erucic acid is 0.03% of total fatty acids, oil content is 46.0% of whole dried seed, protein is 50.1% of dried oil free meal, very low glucosinolates (10.6 µmol/g)
REACTION TO CHEMICAL: resistant to Glufosinate ammonium
DISEASE RESISTANCE: moderately resistant to Blackleg (Leptosphaeria maculans asexual stage: Phoma lingam)

Origin & Breeding History: 'PR0CN445' is a restorer inbred line used in F1 hybrid production which contains the Rf3 gene construct in the homozygous state. It was produced in Canada in 2006 with the doubled haploid line being extracted in 2008. 'PR0CN445' was selected in 2009 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.

Tests & Trials: Trials conducted in the summers of 2011 and 2012 in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan were set up in a RCB Design with 3 replications per variety. Plots each year consisted of 3 rows with a row length of 6 metres and a row spacing of 50 cm. There were 40 measurements of the cotyledon characteristics, 30 measurements of the leaf, flower and plant height characteristics and 60 measurements of the silique characteristics. Means are based on a two year average. Differences are significant at the 2% probability level based on LSD values.
