New lines recommended: Oilseeds Subcommittee

The Oilseeds Subcommittee recommended these crop lines for registration. This listing includes crop type, name, key traits and where the line was developed.

Flax

FP2024. This linseed flax line is adapted to Western Canada. In comparison to the check Flanders, FP 2024 is substantially higher yielding, with greater lodging resistance, but similar maturity. Seed quality attributes include a significantly higher oil content and slightly higher oil quality compared to Flanders. In addition, it has a similar seed size and similar protein content as Flanders. FP 2024 is immune to rust (race 371) and has similar Fusarium wilt resistance as checks Flanders and NorLin. Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) Morden.

FP2044. A linseed flax line adapted to all areas of Western Canada. It is significantly higher yielding than Vimy across the region and is considerably higher yielding than the checks Flanders and Vimy in the Black soil zone. FP 2044 has substantially better lodging resistance than both checks and is considerably shorter in height than Vimy. It features significantly better oil content than Vimy, appreciably better oil quality than Flanders and Vimy, as well as significantly higher protein content than Flanders. FP 2044 also has a substantially higher linolenic acid content than Flanders. Disease resistance to Fusarium wilt is equal to that of NorLin and Flanders and FP2044 is immune to flax rust race 371. University of Saskatchewan (U of S) Crop Development Centre.

SP 2047. A Solin flax line that is adapted to all areas of Western Canada, and performs particularly well in the Black and Black and Grey Soil Zones. In comparison to the check Linola 947, SP 2047 is substantially higher yielding in the Black Soil Zone, similar yielding in the Black and Grey Soil Zones, and similar yielding in Western Canada. It matures significantly earlier, has considerably better lodging resistance than Linola 947 and has a significantly larger seed size. Seed quality attributes of SP 2047 include notably more oil content than the check Linola 949, with significantly more protein content. Seed coat colour is yellow, and SP 2047 has 2.0% linolenic, and 72.0% linoleic fatty acid. SP 2047 is 100% immune to rust (race 371) and has similar Fusarium wilt resistance as the check Linola 949. Agricore United and AAFC, Morden.

Mustard seed

SA98RNA1. A yellow mustard line that is significantly higher yielding than the check Ochre with similar maturity and height. It is well adapted to the mustard growing areas of western Canada. It represents a major improvement in seed mucilage content and has a higher thousand seed weight than that of Ochre. Protein and hydroxybenzyl glucosinolate contents are similar to Ochre and oil content is slightly lower. Disease reactions of SA98RNA1 are similar to Ochre for blackleg and white rust severity. AAFC, Saskatoon Research Centre.

J97-149. This brown mustard line represents an increase in yield over the Common Brown check and is well adapted to the brown mustard growing areas of western Canada. It has a significantly lower fixed oil content with a similar volatile oil as Common Brown, with an increased protein content and reduced green seed and chlorophyll content. It is slightly taller and one day later maturing than Common Brown. It has similar disease reactions to white rust race 2a and 2v and blackleg as other brown mustard cultivars. AAFC Saskatchewan Research Centre.
