McVetty, P. B. E., Cuthbert, J. L., Marwede, V., Paulmann, W., Sass, O., Duncan, R. W., Fernando, W. G. D., Li, G. and Zelmer, C. D. 2014. HYHEAR 1 hybrid Roundup Ready™ high erucic acid, low glucosinolate summer rape. Can. J. Plant Sci. 94: 453-455. HYHEAR 1 summer rape (Brassica napus L.) is the world's first hybrid Roundup Ready™ high erucic acid, low glucosinolate cultivar. On average, HYHEAR 1 yielded 33% more seed, 23 g kg-1 more seed oil but 17 g kg -1 less meal protein than MillenniUM 03 high erucic acid, low glucosinolate, open pollinated population summer rape. HYHEAR 1 has an erucic acid content of 52.2% in isolated field trials of HEAR lines and is adapted to the southern B. napus growing regions of western Canada.
