LEAF: dark green, very few lobes, sharp margins with shallow dentation

FLOWERS: yellow with white stripes in some environments

SILIQUE: medium in length, short beak, very short pedicel

SEED: black

QUALITY CHARACTERISTICS: erucic acid less than 0.2% of total fatty acids, high glucosinolate content less than 30 umol/g

Origin & Breeding History: 'MSL 527C' was derived from a cross made in 1999 in Hohenlieth, Germany in conjunction with Svalöf Weibull AB, Svalöv, Sweden. Selection criteria included male sterility, earliness, straw stiffness, high oil and protein content, low glucosinolate and erucic acid content.

Tests & Trials: Tests and trials were conducted during the summers of 2003 and 2005 at Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Plots consisted of 2 replicates of 8 rows spaced 15 cm apart, were 1.75 metres wide and 3.25 metres long. Plots were laid out in randomized complete block design.
