  • Publication number: 20120213909
    Abstract: A canola germplasm confers on a canola seed the traits of high protein content and low fiber content, wherein the canola plant produces a seed having, on average, at least 68% oleic acid (C18:1) and less than 3% linolenic acid (C18:3). The canola seed traits may also include at least 45% crude protein and not more than 18% acid detergent fiber content on an oil-free, dry matter basis. Certain embodiments further comprise one or more traits selected from the group consisting of reduced polyphenolic content and increased phosphorous content. In particular embodiments, the invention concerns canola plants comprising such germplasm and plant commodity products (e.g., seeds) produced therefrom. Canola plants comprising a germplasm of the invention may exhibit favorable seed composition characteristics that make them particularly valuable as a source for canola meal.

  • Publication number: 20120204286
    Abstract: This disclosure concerns a plant of the genus, Brassica, or parts thereof, which comprise one or more traits selected from the group consisting of high oleic acid content, low linolenic acid content, increased herbicide resistance, restorer of cytoplasmic male sterility, and increased clubroot disease (Plasmodiophora brassicae) resistance, compared to a wild-type plant of the same species. This disclosure further relates to wild-type and mutant alleles of genes involved in these traits, molecular markers linked thereto, and methods of their use.

  • Publication number: 20090136646
    Abstract: Brassica juncea having greater than about 55% oleic acid per weight of total fatty acid and methods of producing same are provided. The new Brassica juncea lines produce oil having the typical canola fatty acid profile. Methods for producing progeny Brassica juncea plants produced by crossing the high oleic acid Brassica juncea line with itself or with other canola plants, and hybrid canola seeds and plants produced by crossing the Brassica juncea high oleic acid line with another canola line or plant, are provided.
