Variety Description

Varieties used for comparison: 'PPS98-274', 'PPS02-364' and '5030'

Summary: 'PPS06-284' flowers later than 'PPS02-364' but earlier than 'PPS98-274'. The plant height at maturity of 'PPS06-284' is shorter than '5030'. 'PPS06-284' has a shorter petiole than '5030'. The silique and pedicel of 'PPS06-284' is shorter than in 'PPS98-274' and '5030'. 'PPS06-284' has higher erucic acid content than 'PPS98-274', 'PPS02-364' and '5030'. The oil content as a percentage in whole dried seed of 'PPS06-284' is higher than in 'PPS98-274' and '5030'.

HERBICIDE RESISTANCE: tolerant to glufosinate ammonium

DISEASE RESISTANCE: resistant to moderately resistant to Blackleg (Leptosphaeria maculans asexual stage: Phoma lingam) and resistant to White Rust (Albugo candida, races 7a & 2v)

Origin & Breeding History: 'PPS06-284' is a high erucic acid restorer line used in F1 hybrid production. Backcrossing was done in Canada in 2003 and 2004 introgressing the Rf3 gene in the homozygous state. A doubled haploid was extracted from the F1 generation which became 'PPS06-284. In 2005, 'PPS06-284' was selected on the basis of fertility restoration and expression of tolerance to glufosinate-ammonium herbicide. Other selection criteria included erucic acid content, height, vigour, maturity, blackleg resistance, oil content, fatty acid profile, glucosinolate content and combining ability.

Tests & Trials: Tests and trials were conducted during the summers of 2007 and 2008 in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Plots consisted of 3 rows, with a row length of 6 metres and a row spacing of 40 cm. There were 2 replicates arranged in a RCB design.


Comparison tables for 'PPS06-284' with reference varieties 'PPS98-274', 'PPS02-364' and '5030'

Means are based on a two year average of 60 plant parts for petiole, silique, beak and pedicel characteristics. Differences are significant at the 2% probability level based on LSD values.
