Varieties used for comparison: 'PPS98-274', 'PPS02-364' and '5440'
Summary: The cotyledon of 'PR2CN542' is narrower than that of '5440' and it is shorter than that of 'PPS98-274'. The leaf of 'PR2CN542' has very few lobes whereas those of 'PPS98-274' and '5440' have a medium number of lobes. The leaf margin of 'PR2CN542' is rounded whereas it is sharp for 'PPS98-274' and 'PPS02-364'. The leaf of 'PR2CN542' is smaller than that of the reference varieties. 'PR2CN542' has a shorter petiole than 'PPS98-274' and '5440'. 'PR2CN542' flowers later than the reference varieties. The petal of 'PR2CN542' is shorter than that of the reference varieties and it is narrower than that of '5440'. 'PR2CN542' has a shorter silique, beak and pedicel than the reference varieties. At maturity, the plant of 'PR2CN542' is shorter than that of 'PPS98-274' and '5440'.

Origin & Breeding History: 'PR2CN542' is a restorer line in the process of F1 hybrid production. It was derived by crossing a doubled haploid line containing the Rf3 gene construct in homozygous state to a donor line. The cross was made in Canada in 2011. The final backcross was done in 2012. 'PR2CN542' was selected in 2012 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, linolenic acid content, fatty acid profile, glucosinolate content and combining ability.
Tests & Trials: The comparative trials conducted during the summers of 2013 and 2014 in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan were set up in a RCB Design with 3 replications per variety. Each year, the plots consisted of 3 rows that were 6 metres in length with a spacing of 25 cm between rows and 50 cm between plots. The measured characteristics were based on 30 measurements of the cotyledon, leaf, flower and plant height and 60 measurements of the silique. The means were based on a two year average. Mean differences were significant at the 2% probability level based on LSD values.
