Origin & Breeding History: 'PR8CN736' is a restorer line in the process of F1 hybrid production. It was derived as a double haploid line containing the Rf3 gene in a homozygous state. The cross was made at BASF Canada Inc. in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada in 2013 and the subsequent double haploid line extraction was made in 2014. 'PR8CN736' was selected in 2017 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, seed pod shatter resistance, oil content, fatty acid profile, glucosinolate content and combining ability.

Tests & Trials: The comparative trials for 'PR8CN736' were conducted during the 2018 and 2019 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 planting density resulted in a total of approximately 1300 plants per variety. 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.
