Variety Description

Varieties used for comparison: '900Y61', '900Y71' and 'Prius RR'

Summary: '900Y81' flowers later than the reference varieties. When 50% of the pods are ripe, '900Y81' is taller in plant height than '900Y61' and '900Y71'. '900Y81' has a brown pod colour while it is tan for 'Prius RR'. The seed shape of '900Y81' is elongate while it is spherical rounded for '900Y61' and spherical flattened for 'Prius RR'. '900Y81' has a dark brown hilum while it is imperfect yellow for '900Y71'. '900Y81' matures later than the reference varieties. The protein content of the seed of '900Y81' is less than in 'Prius RR'.

Origin & Breeding History: '900Y81' (experimental designations XB007F10, PH10002) is the result of a cross made in 2003 between 'XB01C03' and '90M60' in Minnesota. The modified single seed descent method and pedigree method were used to develop the variety. The F2 generation was grown in Puerto Rico and the F3 in Canada. The F4 was grown in Chile. The F5 generation onward was grown in Minnesota and advanced based on yield for single plants and progeny rows. Single plant purification occurred in 2007/2008 in Chile. Wide area testing continued from 2008-2010 in the USA and Canada. Selection criteria included yield, maturity, resistance to Roundup branded herbicides and to Phytophthora megasperma and Iron Chlorosis on calcareous soils.

Tests & Trials: Test and trials were conducted in Monkton, Ontario during the 2011 growing season. Plots consisted of 2 rows with a row length of 4 meters and a row spacing of 76 cm. There were 3 replicates. Results were supported by the official technical examination report 201000570, purchased from the Plant Variety Protection Office, Beltsville, Maryland, USA.
