Variety Description

Varieties used for comparison: 'PPS98-274', 'PPS02-364' and 'Ebony'

Summary: The leaf margin of 'PPS05-252' is rounded with less dense shallower dentations than 'PPS98-274', 'PPS02-364' and 'Ebony'. 'PPS05-252' flowers later than 'PPS02-364'. The silique of 'PPS05-252' is shorter than 'PPS98-274'. 'PPS05-252' has a longer pedicel than 'PPS02-364' The beak of 'PPS05-252' is shorter than 'Ebony'. 'PPS05-252' matures later than 'PPS98-274', 'PPS02-364' and 'Ebony'. The plant height at maturity of 'PPS05-252' is taller than 'PPS02-364'. 'PPS05-252' is resistant to glufosinate ammonium herbicides while 'Ebony' is not.

Origin & Breeding History: 'PPS05-252' is a restorer line (R-line in the process of F1 hybrid production). 'PPS05-252' was derived as a doubled haploid line 04-239-063 containing the Rf3 gene in a homozygous state. The cross was made in Canada in 2003 and the DH line extraction was made in Canada in 2003/2004. The pedigree of 'PPS05-252' is as follows: 02NN300302/01NN202767. 'PPS05-252' was selected in 2004 and 2005 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.
