Abstract

The subject invention provides low fiber, yellow-seeded canola, and related canola meal and animal feed. Oil produced from this seed has at least 68% oleic acid and no more than 3% linolenic acid, relative to the total fatty acids in the oil. Specific canola lines exhibiting these characteristics are also provided. Canola seed offering the combined advantages of excellent oil together with high-quality meal has not heretofore been provided.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A canola plant that produces yellow-coated seeds having at least 68% oleic acid (C18:1) by weight and less than 3% linolenic acid (C18:3) by weight, relative to total C12, C14, C16, C18, C20, C22, and C24 fatty acids, wherein said plant is grown from seed available under an ATCC deposit number selected from PTA-6806 and PTA-6807.

2. The plant of claim 1 wherein said seeds have acid detergent fiber below 11% as determined by NIR on a dry mass basis.

3. The plant of claim 1 wherein said seeds comprise at least 43% oil by weight.

4. The plant of claim 1 wherein said seeds comprise at least 45% protein by weight.

5. The plant of claim 1 wherein said seeds comprise at least 43% oil by weight and at least 45% protein by weight on a dry mass basis determined using NIR.

6. A population of plants according to claim 1 wherein said plants yield at least 1700 kilograms of seed per hectare.

7. A progeny plant of claim 1 wherein said progeny plant produces yellow-coated seeds having at least 68% oleic acid (C18:1) and less than 3% linolenic acid (C18:3) by weight, relative to total C12, C14, C16, C18, C20, C22, and C24 fatty acids.

8. A seed produced by the canola plant of claim 1 .

9. A plant grown from the seed of claim 8 .

10. Animal feed comprising meal of seeds according to claim 8 .

11. The plant of claim 1 wherein said plant was produced without genetic engineering and without mutagenesis.

12. Canola meal produced from seeds according to claim 1 .

13. The meal of claim 12 wherein said meal has a mean true metabolizable energy of at least 2400 kcal/kg.

14. The plant of claim 1 wherein said seeds have reduced antinutritional components compared to Nex 705 seeds or yellow seeds lines YN97-262 and YN9562.

15. The plant of claim 14 wherein said seeds have a phytate content of less than 1.3%, an acid detergent lignin content of less than 2%, and a neutral detergent fiber content of less than 17%.

16. The plant of claim 1 wherein said seeds comprise a meal component having at least 47% protein by weight.

17. The plant of claim 1 wherein said seeds comprise at least 43% oil by weight and a meal component having at least 47% protein by weight on a dry mass basis determined using NIR.

18. The meal of claim 12 wherein said meal has at least 47% protein by weight.

19. An F1 generation plant produced from the plant of claim 1 , wherein said F1 generation plant produces yellow-coated seeds having at least 68% oleic acid (C18:1) by weight and less than 3% linolenic acid (C18:3) by weight, relative to total C12, C14, C16, C18, C20, C22, and C24 fatty acids.
