Claims23
A canola seed designated A 144.1 or M3094.4 and having ATCC accession number 40813 or 75023, respectively.
A canola seed designated A129.5, A133.1 or M3062.8 and having ATCC accession number 40811, 40812 or 75025, respectively.
A canola seed designated M3007.4 and having ATCC accession number 75022.
A canola seed designated M3052.6 and having ATCC accession number 75024.
A method of producing a Brassica plant line;
- said method comprising:
- (a) crossing an agronomically elite Brassica canola plant by a second Brassica canola plant, said second plant producing seeds having a stabilized fatty acid composition based upon total extractable oil selected from the group consisting of:
- (i) an FDA saturates content of from 4.2% to 5.0% that is due to heritable genetic change present in seed deposited as ATCC accession number 40813 or 75023;
- (ii) a linoleic acid content of from 5.7% to 12.1% that is due to heritable genetic change present in seed deposited as ATCC accession number 40811, 40812 or 75025;
- (iii) a palmitic acid content of from 9.1% to 11.7% that is due to heritable genetic change present in seed deposited as ATCC accession number 75022;
- (iv) a palmitic acid content of from 2.7% to 3.5% that is due to heritable genetic change present in seed deposited as ATCC accession number 40813 or 75023;
- and
- (v) a stearic acid content of from 0.8% to 1.1% that is due to heritable genetic change present in seed deposited as ATCC accession number 75024;
- and
- (b) producing said plant line from said at least one plant by self- or cross pollination and selecting for said fatty acid content in at least one generation, said line being stabilized for said acid content due to said heritable genetic change.
A method of producing a Brassica plant line;
- said method comprising:
- (a) inducing heritable genetic change by chemical or physical mutagenesis in seeds of a starting Brassica canola variety;
- (b) germinating said seeds to form plants which are then self-pollinated to yield a second generation of seeds;
- (c) selecting, by bulk seed analysis of a portion of said second generation seeds, at least one of said plants that yields a seed oil having a stabilized fatty acid composition based upon total extractable oil selected from the group consisting of:
- (i) an FDA saturates content of from 4.2% to 5.0% that is due to heritable genetic change present in seed deposited as ATCC accession number 40813 or 75023;
- (ii) a linoleic acid content of from 5.7% to 12.1% that is due to heritable genetic change present in seed deposited as ATCC accession number 40811, 40812 or 75025;
- (iii) a palmitic acid content of from 9.1% to 11.7% that is due to heritable genetic change present in seed deposited as ATCC accession number 75022;
- (iv) a palmitic acid content of from 2.7% to 3.5% that is due to heritable genetic change present in seed deposited as ATCC accession number 40813 or 75023;
- and
- (v) a stearic acid content of from 0.8% to 1.1% that is due to heritable genetic change present in seed deposited as ATCC accession number 75024;
- and
- (d) producing said plant line from said at least one plant by self-pollination and selecting for said fatty acid content in at least one generation, said line being stabilized for said acid content due to said heritable genetic change.
