Varieties used for comparison: 'PPS02-364', 'PPS04-205' and '5440'

Summary: The cotyledon of 'PR8CN738' is narrower and shorter than that of '5440'. The leaf of 'PR8CN738' has a rounded margin whereas the leaf of 'PPS02-364' has a sharp margin. 'PR8CN738' has a shorter petiole than that of 'PPS04-205' and '5440'. 'PR8CN738' flowers earlier than 'PPS04-205'. The petal of 'PR8CN738' is wider than that of 'PPS02-364'. 'PR8CN738' has a longer silique than that of 'PPS04-205' and a longer pedicel than the reference varieties. 'PR8CN738' matures earlier than the reference varieties. At maturity, the plant of 'PR8CN738' is shorter than that of '5440'.

DISEASE REACTION: resistant to Blackleg (Leptosphaeria maculans asexual stage: Phoma lingam)

Origin & Breeding History: 'PR8CN738' is a restorer line in the process of F1 hybrid production. It was derived as a double haploid line containing the Rf3 gene in a homozygous state. The cross and subsequent double haploid line extraction were made in 2014 at BASF Canada Inc. in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. 'PR8CN738' was selected in 2017 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, seed pod shatter resistance, oil content, fatty acid profile, glucosinolate content and combining ability.

Tests & Trials: The comparative trials for 'PR8CN738' were conducted during the 2018 and 2019 growing seasons in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. They 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 planting density resulted in a total of approximately 1300 plants per variety. 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.
