ACS-C18 summer turnip rape (Brassica rapa L.) is a canola-quality, two-parent population-synthetic (Syn1) cultivar adapted to the short-season growing areas of western Canada. On average, it yielded 17% more than the WCC/RRC checks over three years of testing and has high seed oil and meal protein contents.Key words: Turnip rape (summer), synthetic, cultivar description

Eldorado summer rape (Brassica rapa L.) is a canola-quality cultivar with a seed yield similar to that of Tobin. The seed oil content of Eldorado is significantly higher and its meal glucosinolate content is significantly lower than Tobin. Eldorado is well adapted to the B. rapa-growing areas of western Canada. Keywords: Turnip rape (summer), cultivar description

The F2 progeny (64 individuals) from the cross between oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) cultivar Topas and R4 (a low linolenic mutation line) was analyzed with 8 RFLPs and 34 RAPDs to discover a genetic tag for gene(s) affecting linolenic acid concentration. According to variance analysis (ANOVA), one RAPD marker (25a) was significantly associated with linolenic acid content; the linolenic acid concentration in the seeds of F2 individuals showing the marker (includes both homo- and hetero-zygotes) was 7.43 ± 1.35% and in those lacking the marker was 5.70 ± 1.52%. Marker 25a may be used to facilitate selection for fatty acid composition in future breeding programs of oilseed rape.Key words: Brassica napus, RFLP, RAPD, linolenic acid.

The effect of sulfur availability on glucosinolate concentration in seed meal of glasshouse grown Brassica nupus cv. Wesbrook and Brassica rapa cv. Runyip was studied. In addition, field trials were evaluated to determine the degree of variability of glucosinolate concentrations in the seed and of sulfur in the plants of rapeseed grown at a number of sites throughout New South Wales.Glucosinolate concentration in seeds grown in the glasshouse increased (P < 0.01) in both cultivars with increasing sulfur application, ranging from an average of 5 8mol at 4 8g g-1 to 55 8mol at 100 8g g-1 sulfur. Bunyip containcd significantly higher concentrations (Pt0-01) than Wesbrook. Increased rates of sulfur application resulted in increased (P < 0.01) seed oil concentrations (from 28.7 to 37.6%), yield (3.1-27.1 g) and 1000-grain weights (2.1-2.9 g). Field trials showed site (P < 0.01) and cultivar (P<0.01) variation in glucosinolate levels. However, sulfur did not appear to be an independently limiting factor in field-grown plants.
