Origin & Breeding History: 'PPS04-391' is a restorer line (R-line in the process of F1 hybrid production). 'PPS04-391' was derived as a doubled haploid line 99-97-361 containing the Rf3 gene in a homozygous state. The crosses and DH line extraction were made in Canada in 1999. The pedigree of 'PPS04-391' is as follows: 99NN101205//99CBN092/99CBN093. 'PPS04-391' was selected in 2001 on the basis of fertility restoration of numerous male sterile lines and expression of tolerance to glufosinate-ammonium herbicide. Other selection parameters included: height, vigour, maturity, blackleg resistance, oil content, fatty acid profile, glucosinolate content and combining ability. Breeder Seed production commenced in the 2005 season.

Tests & Trials: Test and trials were conducted in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan during the summers of 2005 and 2006. There were two replications arranged in a randomized complete block design. Each plot consisted of 3 rows that were spaced 50 centimeters apart with a row length of 6 meters.
