Publication number: 20220295718Abstract: The subject invention provides low fiber, yellow-seeded canola, and related canola meal and animal feed. Oil produced from this seed has at least 68% oleic acid and no more than 3% linolenic acid, relative to the total fatty acids in the oil. Specific canola lines exhibiting these characteristics are also provided. Canola seed offering the combined advantages of excellent oil together with high-quality meal has not heretofore been provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 25, 2021Publication date: September 22, 2022Inventors: Chibwe CHUNGU, Thomas J.

Patent number: 10470399Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2016Date of Patent: November 12, 2019Assignee: Agrigenetics, Inc.Inventors: Van L. Ripley, Gregory R. Gingera, Thomas J. Kubik, Michelle E. Beaith, Thomas G. Patterson

Patent number: 9603322Abstract: According to the invention, there are provided novel canola cultivars, seeds of canola cultivars, to the plants, or plant parts, of novel canola cultivars and to methods for producing a canola plants produced by crossing the novel canola cultivars with themselves or another canola cultivar, and the creation of variants by mutagenesis or transformation of the canola cultivars. The novel canola cultivar(s) include canola plants having a desired trait that includes an oleic acid value of about 70% and a yield greater than about 2100 kg/ha, and oils canola seeds having an oleic acid content of greater than about 70% and an ?-linolenic acid value of less than about 3%.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2011Date of Patent: March 28, 2017Assignee: Agrigenetics, Inc.Inventors: Thomas J.
