Mutagens [e.g. EMS (ethyl methane sulphonate)] are sometimes used to generate variability in oil crops when variability is lacking in natural populations, or when strong interspecific crossing barriers prevent hybridization with relatives. It is imperative to conduct genetic studies on beneficial mutants before they can be effectively used in a breeding program. This study was conducted to study the inheritance, and characterize two "apparent" low linolenic acid EMS-induced McGregor flax mutants (E1929 and E1536) that appeared to be quite different from E1747, a linolenic acid deficient McGregor flax mutant which has been extensively studied. Diallele crosses involving 1) E1929, E1536, and McGregor, and 2) E1929, E1536, and E1747 were made. Gas chromatography analyses of fatty acids from seed oil of F1 and F2 populations indicated that E1929 resulted from a reduction in Δ15 desaturase activity, and that the control of the trait is by a single recessive gene. The E1929 gene appears to be allelic to one of the two genes possessed by E1747. E1929 was characterized as a "moderately low linolenic-high oleic acid mutant". E1536 could not be characterized with the available data. Key words: flax, fatty acids, linolenic, Linum

Apollo is a low-linolenic acid canola cultivar which produces seed oil with an average linolenic acid content of 1.7%. The low-linolenic oil has a shorter hydrogenation time and greater stability than standard canola oil. Apollo has a significant yield advantage over the low-linolenic cultivar Stellar with higher seed oil and lower seed protein content than Stellar. Apollo is adapted to the southern B. napus canola growing areas of western Canada. Key words: Rape (summer), low linolenic, cultivar description

Allons (Brassica napus L.) is a low linolenic acid canola cultivar which produces seed oil with an average linolenic acid content of 2.5%. The low linolenic oil has a shorter hydrogenation time and greater stability than standard canola oil. Allons is higher yielding and contains higher seed oil and lower meal protein than the low linolenic cultivar Stellar. Allons is adapted to the long season B. napus canola growing areas of western Canada. Key words: Rape (summer), low linolenic, cultivar description
