Abstract
Improved varieties of Brassica napus having early maturity (“Early Napus”) and resistance to an AHAS-inhibitor herbicide, such as an imidazolinone, are provided. These varieties may be used to produce inbreds or hybrids or to produce vegetable oil and meal. Parts of these plants, including plant cells, are also provided.
Claims56
A plant cell of a Brassica napus plant which is Early Napus and resistant to at least one AHAS-inhibitor herbicide.
A tissue culture of regenerable cells of a Brassica napus plant which is Early Napus and resistant to at least one AHAS-inhibitor herbicide.
A part of a Brassica napus plant which is Early Napus and resistant to at least one AHAS-inhibitor herbicide.
A method for breeding a Brassica line comprising crossing a Brassica napus plant which is Early Napus and resistant to at least one AHAS-inhibitor herbicide with a second Brassica napus plant.
A method for producing a first generation (F1) hybrid canola seed comprising crossing a first Brassica napus plant that is Early Napus and resistant to at least one AHAS-inhibitor herbicide with a second inbred Brassica plant of a different variety or species and harvesting the resultant first generation (F1) hybrid canola seed.
A method for preparing oil and/or meal from a seed of a Brassica napus plant which is Early Napus and resistant to at least one AHAS-inhibitor herbicide, the method comprising crushing the seed and separating the oil and/or seed.
Vegetable oil comprising all or part of a plant cell of a Brassica napus plant which is Early Napus and resistant to at least one AHAS-inhibitor herbicide.
Vegetable oil produced from a seed of a Brassica napus plant that is Early Napus and resistant to at least one AHAS-inhibitor herbicide.
Meal produced using a seed of a Brassica napus plant which is Early Napus and resistant to at least one AHAS-inhibitor herbicide.
