Methods for producing canola plants, such as canola plant varieties, hybrid canola plants, or other canola plants, as by crossing canola 15RH0612 with itself or any different canola plant are also part of this invention as are the resultant canola plants including the plant parts and seeds. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A plant of canola hybrid 15RH0612, or part thereof, representative seed of the hybrid having been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-12315. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) A method of producing a canola plant comprising a trait, the method comprising introducing a gene conferring a trait into the plant of claim 1. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The method of claim 2, wherein the canola plant comprising the trait further comprise a seed having an oil comprising (i) a total saturates of between 4% and 5%; (ii) a linoleic acid content is from 21% to 28%; and (iii) a linolenic acid content is from 2.0% to 3.0%. ### Claim 4 (depends on 2) The method of claim 2, wherein the canola plant comprising the trait further comprises herbicide resistance to an herbicide selected from the group consisting of imidazolinone, sulfonylurea, glyphosate, glufosinate, L-phosphinothricin, triazine, Clearfield, Dicamba, 2,4-D, and benzonitrile. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) A method of modifying fatty acid metabolism or modifying carbohydrate metabolism of canola hybrid 15RH0612 wherein the method comprises: (a) crossing the plant of claim 1 with a plant of another canola cultivar to produce F1 progeny plants that comprise a nucleic acid molecule encoding an enzyme selected from the group consisting of phytase, fructosyltransferase, levansucrase, alpha-amylase, invertase and starch branching enzyme or encoding an antisense of stearyl-ACP desaturase; and (b) selecting one or more progeny plants that have said nucleic acid molecule to produce selected progeny plants with modified fatty acid metabolism. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The method of claim 5, wherein the fourth or higher backcross progeny plants further comprise resistance to Blackleg (Leptosphaeria maculans), Fusarium wilt, or White Rust. ### Claim 7 (depends on 5) The method of claim 5, wherein the fourth or higher backcross progeny plants further comprise herbicide resistance to an herbicide selected from the group consisting of imidazolinone, sulfonylurea, glyphosate, glufosinate, L-phosphinothricin, triazine, Clearfield, Dicamba, 2,4-D, and benzonitrile. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) A method for producing canola oil, the method comprising processing seed harvested from the plant of claim 1 and extracting or pressing the oil from the seed. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) A method of producing a canola seed, the method comprising growing the plant of claim 1 to produce a subsequent generation of seed and harvesting the subsequent generation of seed. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) A method for producing a second canola plant or plant part, the method comprising doubling haploid seed generated from the plant of claim 1, thereby producing the second canola plant or plant part. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) A method for producing a canola plant derived from canola hybrid 15RH0612, the method comprising: crossing the plant of claim 1 with itself or a second plant to produce progeny seed; and growing the progeny seed to produce a plant derived from canola hybrid 15RH0612. ### Claim 12 (depends on 8) A method for cooking or frying comprising cooking or frying food in the oil produced from the method of claim 8. ### Claim 13 A method of producing a canola plant comprising a trait comprising transforming a plant of canola hybrid 15RH0613, or part thereof, with a transgene, wherein said transgene confers said trait into said plant, wherein said trait is selected from the group consisting of Total Saturates less than 5%, male sterility, herbicide resistance, insect resistance, and resistance to bacterial disease, fungal disease or viral disease, wherein representative seed of the hybrid has been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-12316. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) A canola plant comprising the trait produced by the method of claim 13, further comprising an oleic acid value of about 65%. ### Claim 15 (depends on 13) The canola plant comprising the trait of claim 13, wherein the herbicide resistance is conferred to an herbicide selected from the group consisting of imidazolinone, sulfonylurea, glyphosate, glufosinate, L-phosphinothricin, triazine, Clearfield, Dicamba, 2,4-D, and benzonitrile. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The canola plant comprising the trait of claim 15, wherein the trait further comprises insect resistance and the insect resistance is conferred by a transgene encoding a Bacillus thuringiensis endotoxin. ### Claim 17 (depends on 15) The canola plant comprising the trait of claim 15, wherein the trait further comprises resistance to Blackleg, Fusarium wilt, or White Rust.
