NSERC/Bunge Canada/Manitoba Canola Growers Association Industrial Research Chair in High Erucic Acid Rapeseed (HEAR) Research and Development

加拿大的油菜籽/油菜籽生产和加工每年为加拿大经济贡献25亿美元。为了确保加拿大油籽行业的长期可持续性，研发是关键。不断提供改良的油菜籽/油菜籽品种有力地促进了加拿大油籽行业的长期成功和稳定增长。高芥酸、低硫代葡萄糖苷油菜籽(HEAR)在加拿大油籽行业中只占很小但稳步增长的部分，年增长率超过15%。马尼托巴大学将继续其成功的高芥酸油菜品种开发工作，扩大高芥酸油菜种子的研发力度，包括开发耐除草剂杂交高芥酸油菜种子，开发超高芥酸油菜种子，开发黑腿和菌核病抗性种质。一旦开发出合适的种质，也将启动杂交高芥酸油菜种子生产的研究。

Canola/rapeseed production and processing in Canada contributes $2.5 billion annually to the Canadian economy. To ensure the long-term sustainability of the oilseed industry in Canada, research and development is key. The continuous provision of improved canola/rapeseed cultivars strongly contributes to the long-term success and steady growth of the Canadian oilseed industry. High erucic acid, low glucosinolate rapeseed (HEAR) comprises a small but steadily growing sector of the Canadian oilseed industry with an annual growth rate of over 15%. The University of Manitoba will continue its successful high erucic acid rapeseed cultivar development work and expand the research and development effort in high erucic acid rapeseed to include the development of herbicide tolerant hybrid high erucic acid rapeseed, the development of super high erucic acid rapeseed and the development of blackleg and sclerotinia disease resistant germ plasm. Hybrid high erucic acid rapeseed seed production studies will also be initiated once suitable germ plasm has been developed.
