  • Patent number: 10415101
    Abstract: The present disclosure is in the field of plant breeding and disease resistance. The disclosure provides methods for breeding canola plants having clubroot resistance using marker-assisted selection. The disclosure further provides germplasm resistant to various Plasmodiophora brassicae pathotypes including pathogtype 5x. The disclosure also provides markers associated with clubroot resistance loci for introgressing these loci into elite germplasm in a breeding program, thus producing novel clubroot resistant germplasm, e.g., spring canola varieties resistant to pathogtype 5x.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 27, 2016
    Date of Patent: September 17, 2019
    Assignee: Monsanto Technology LLC
    Inventors: Jed A. Christianson, Issa Coulibaly, David O. Niño-Liu, Chunren X. Wu

  • Patent number: 9955647
    Abstract: In an embodiment, the invention relates to the seeds, plants, and plant parts of canola variety SCV149064 and to methods for producing a canola plant produced by crossing canola variety SCV149064 with itself or with another canola variety. The invention also relates to methods for producing a canola plant containing in its genetic material one or more transgenes and to the transgenic canola plants and plant parts produced by those methods. This invention also relates to canola varieties or breeding lines and plant parts derived from canola variety SCV149064, to methods for producing other canola varieties, lines or plant parts derived from canola variety SCV149064 and to the canola plants, varieties, and their parts derived from use of those methods. The invention further relates to hybrid canola seeds, plants and plant parts produced by crossing the variety SCV149064 with another canola variety.
