Abstract
An improved Brassica hybrid plant and seed thereof designated 46P50 are provided. The Brassica hybrid produces seed having an average weight of oil per gram of mature dried seed that is between about 2.7 to 3.3 percentage points higher than that produced by current commercial hybrids when grown under the same environmental conditions. Also provided are methods for producing the hybrid plant, methods of oil and meal production, and methods of breeding with the hybrid plant.
Claims23
A Brassica seed or plant thereof designated 46P50, representative seed of which have been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-8304, or an F1 progeny plant produced by crossing 46P50 with a second plant, wherein said F1 progeny plant yields seeds wherein the average weight of oil per gram of mature whole dried seed is 2.7 to 3.3 percentage points higher than the average weight of oil per gram of mature whole dried seed produced by 46A65 or Q2 when grown under the same environmental conditions.
A process of growing a crop comprising the steps of:
- (a) planting the Brassica seed designated 46P50, representative seed of which have been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-8304, or seed produced by crossing 46P50 with a second plant;
- (b) growing a seed of (a) into a Brassica plant in the field under conventional oilseed Brassica growing conditions;
- (c) producing Brassica seeds from the plant of (b);
- and optionally
- (d) harvesting the resultant Brassica crop.
A method of producing oil and/or meal, comprising the steps of:
- (a) crushing seeds produced by a plant line designated 46P50, representative seed of which have been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-8304, or an F1 progeny plant produced by crossing 46P50 with a second plant wherein said F1 progeny plant yields seeds wherein the average weight of oil per gram of mature whole dried seed is 2.7 to 3.3 percentage points higher than the average weight of oil per gram of mature whole dried seed produced by 46A65 or Q2 when grown under the same environmental conditions;
- and
- (b) extracting oil and/or meal from said crushed seeds.
A method of breeding a plant line, comprising the steps of:
- (a) crossing a first plant designated 46P50 and having ATCC accession number PTA-8304, with itself or a second Brassica plant to produce an F1 progeny plant;
- and
- (b) selecting at least one plant of said cross.
A tissue culture of regenerable cells of a Brassica plant thereof designated 46P50, representative seed of which have been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-8304, or a tissue culture of an F1 progeny plant produced by crossing 46P50 with a second plant.
A plant cell of a Brassica seed or plant thereof designated 46P50, representative seed of which have been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-8304, or of an F1 progeny plant produced by crossing 46P50 with a second plant.
A Brassica napus F1 progeny plant seed of variety 46P50, representative seed of which have been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-8304, wherein the average weight of oil per gram of mature whole dried seed harvested from said progeny plant is 2.7 to 3.3 percentage points higher than the average weight of oil per gram of whole mature dried seed of 46A65 or Q2 when grown under the same environmental conditions.
A cell of an F1 progeny plant of 46P50, representative seed of which have been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-8304, wherein the average weight of oil per gram of mature whole dried seed harvested from said progeny plant is 2.7 to 3.3 percentage points higher than the average weight of oil per gram of mature whole dried seed of 46A65 or Q2 when grown under the same environmental conditions.
An inbred progeny Brassica plant produced by self pollinating 46P50, representative seed of which have been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-8304, wherein said inbred progeny Brassica plant yields seeds wherein the average weight of oil per gram of mature whole dried seed is 2.7 to 3.3 percentage points higher than the average weight of oil per gram of mature whole dried seed produced by 46A65 or Q2 when grown under the same environmental conditions.
