Variety Description

Varieties used for comparison: 'PB1CN231', 'PPS01-140 B-Line' and '5440'

Summary: The cotyledon of 'PB6CN211' is longer than that of 'PPS01-140 B-Line'. The leaves of 'PB6CN211' have very few to a few lobes whereas that of 'PPS01-140 B-Line' have a medium number of lobes and that of '5440' has medium to many lobes. The leaf and petiole of 'PB6CN211' are shorter than that of 'PPS01-140 B-Line' and '5440'. The silique of 'PB6CN211' is longer than that of 'PB1CN231'. The silique of 'PB6CN211' has a longer beak than that of 'PPS01-140 B-Line' and a shorter beak than that of '5440'. 'PB6CN211' has a longer pedicel than 'PPS01-140 B-Line' and a shorter pedicel than '5440'. 'PB6CN211' is later maturing than the reference varieties. At maturity, the plant of 'PB6CN211' is shorter than that of '5440'. The seed coat of 'PB6CN211' is brown whereas it is black for 'PPS01-140 B-Line' and '5440'.

DISEASE REACTION: resistant to Blackleg (Leptosphaeria maculans asexual stage: Phoma lingam)

Origin & Breeding History: 'PB6CN211' is the male fertile maintainer line of 'PA6CN111'. It is a non-transgenic selected line that was derived by crossing an inbred line to a donor line, which was then crossed to a recurring parent in a backcrossing scheme. The initial cross was made at BASF Canada Inc. in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan in 2013. 'PB6CN211' was selected in 2016 on the basis of per se performance of height, vigour, maturity, blackleg resistance, clubroot tolerance, improved resistance to seed pod shattering, oil content, fatty acid profile and glucosinolate content.

Tests & Trials: The comparative trials for 'PB6CN211' were conducted during 2016 and 2017 growing seasons in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. They were set up in a RCB Design with 3 replications per variety. Each year, the plots consisted of 3 rows that were 6 metres in length with a spacing of 25 cm between rows and 50 cm between plots. The measured characteristics were based on 30 measurements of the cotyledon, leaf, flower and plant height and 60 measurements of the silique. The means were based on a two year average. Mean differences were significant at the 2% probability level based on LSD values.
