Abstract
The present invention relates to a new and distinctive canola cultivar, designated G31064. Also included are seeds of canola cultivar G31064, to the plants, or plant parts, of canola G 31064 and to methods for producing a canola plant produced by crossing the canola G31064 with itself or another canola cultivar, and the creation of variants by mutagenesis or transformation of canola G31064.
Claims20
A seed of canola cultivar designated G31064, wherein a representative sample of seed of said cultivar was deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-120214.
A method of introducing a desired trait into canola cultivar G31064, wherein the method comprises:
- (a) crossing a G31064 plant, wherein a representative sample of seed was deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-120214, with a plant of another canola cultivar that comprises a desired trait to produce Fi progeny plants, wherein the desired trait is selected from the group consisting of male sterility, herbicide resistance, insect resistance, and resistance to bacterial disease, fungal disease or viral disease;
- (b) selecting one or more progeny plants that have the desired trait to produce selected progeny plants;
- (c) crossing the selected progeny plants with the G31064 plants to produce backcross progeny plants;
- (d) selecting for backcross progeny plants that have the desired trait and physiological and morphological characteristics of canola cultivar G31064 to produce selected backcross progeny plants;
- and (e) repeating steps (c) and (d) three or more times to produce selected fourth or higher backcross progeny plants that comprise the desired trait and an oleic acid value of about 70% and an α-linolenic acid value of less than about 3%.
A method of modifying fatty acid metabolism or modifying carbohydrate metabolism of canola cultivar G31064 wherein the method comprises:
- (a) crossing a G31064 plant, wherein a representative sample of seed was deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-120214, 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;
- (b) selecting one or more progeny plants that have said nucleic acid molecule to produce selected progeny plants;
- (c) crossing the selected progeny plants with the G31064 plants to produce backcross progeny plants;
- (d) selecting for backcross progeny plants that have said nucleic acid molecule and physiological and morphological characteristics of canola cultivar G31064 to produce selected backcross progeny plants;
- and (e) repeating steps (c) and (d) three or more times to produce selected fourth or higher backcross progeny plants that comprise said nucleic acid molecule and have an oleic acid value of about 70% and an α-linolenic acid value of less than about 3%.
