The Canadian canola/rapeseed industry contributes $26.7 billion annually to Canada's economy. High Erucic Acid Rapeseed (HEAR) production is a small but profitable component of the Canadian canola/rapeseed industry, with Canada producing approximately half of the annual global supply of erucic acid oil. Erucic acid oil and its derivatives are used in lubricants and slip agents and erucic acid offers properties that petroleum-based products do not. Current hybrid HEAR cultivars are based upon a pollination control system that can pose challenges and inconsistencies when producing large amounts of commercial hybrid seed for western Canada. Developing HEAR hybrids with the Ogu INRA pollination control system is necessary to maintain profitable HEAR production in Canada, since HEAR and canola cultivars compete for the same production area. The proposed HEAR Collaborative Research and Development Project focuses on the development hybrid HEAR cultivars using the Ogu INRA pollination control system and the conversion of these hybrids using a new herbicide tolerance system (TruFlex). We will accomplish this by combining improved Ogu INRA parents from our industry partners with the previously developed HEAR germplasm from the University of Manitoba. Within the overall research goal, we will have multiple objectives focusing on the improvement of seed quality, abiotic stress and disease resistance using conventional breeding approaches in addition to gene-editing. This research will incorporate expertise in plant breeding, genetics, genomics, disease resistance and plant physiology at the UofM (Drs. Duncan, Li, Stasolla and Hill), expertise in hybrid development from Nutrien and a tradition of seed/oil/meal processing from Bunge. Our team will produce the world's first TruFlex HEAR hybrid. The use of the Ogu INRA pollination control system and new herbicide tolerance will add significant annual value to the Canadian economy, benefiting farmers, the seed industry and seed processors. This innovative research will also provide a unique, integrated educational venue for training highly qualified personnel (HQP) in plant breeding, plant genomics and plant physiology.

加拿大油菜籽/油菜籽产业每年为加拿大经济贡献 267 亿加元。 高芥酸油菜籽 (HEAR) 生产是加拿大油菜籽/油菜籽产业中规模虽小但利润丰厚的组成部分，加拿大生产的芥酸油约占全球芥酸油年度供应量的一半。 芥酸油及其衍生物用于润滑剂和滑爽剂，芥酸具有石油基产品所没有的特性。目前的杂交 HEAR 品种基于授粉控制系统，该系统在为加拿大西部生产大量商业杂交种子时可能会带来挑战和不一致。使用 Ogu INRA 授粉控制系统开发 HEAR 杂交品种对于维持加拿大 HEAR 生产的盈利是必要的，因为 HEAR 和油菜品种会争夺同一生产区域。拟议的 HEAR 合作研究和开发项目重点是使用 Ogu INRA 授粉控制系统开发杂交 HEAR 品种，并使用新的除草剂耐受系统 (TruFlex) 转化这些杂交品种。我们将通过将行业合作伙伴改进的 Ogu INRA 亲本与曼尼托巴大学先前开发的 HEAR 种质相结合来实现这一目标。在总体研究目标中，我们将有多个目标，重点关注除基因编辑之外使用传统育种方法提高种子质量、非生物胁迫和抗病性。这项研究将融合密歇根大学在植物育种、遗传学、基因组学、抗病性和植物生理学方面的专业知识（Duncan、Li、Stasolla 和 Hill 博士）、Nutrien 的杂交开发专业知识以及 Bunge 的种子/油/粗粉加工传统。我们的团队将生产世界上第一台 TruFlex HEAR 混合动力车。 Ogu INRA 授粉控制系统和新型除草剂耐受性的使用将为加拿大经济增加显着的年度价值，使农民、种子工业和种子加工商受益。这项创新研究还将提供一个独特的综合教育场所，用于培训植物育种、植物基因组学和植物生理学方面的高素质人才（HQP）。
