Canola-Symposium 2016

‘Breeding high yielding canola varieties for 2020’

Canola

• Towards a new canola type – beyond 2 t/ha yield potential

• Hybrid to maximise early vigour

- Large seeds – lower seed coat %, variation known

- apetalous – improved light penetration into canopy providing better assimilate supply during grain filling.

- More determinate flowering – concentrate development (risk).

- Semi-dwarf (??) = short stature.

- Storage carbohydrate – provide a backup to concurrent photosynthesis.

- Improved root vigour & tolerance to soil stresses

Breeding for Yield

Breeding for yield – Hybrids

• First hybrid released in Australia in 1988 by Pacific Seeds

• Pioneer released first Clearfield® hybrid in 2005 and the first Roundup Ready® 2008

• Hybrid systems available - Polima, OGU, GM

- Pioneer and others use OGU system which was developed by INRA in France

- Bayer InVigor® system uses GM technology

Breeding for yield – Hybrids

• Advantages- Seedling vigour- Increased bio-mass- In-determinant flowering- Uniformity at maturity- Higher yield & oil potential- Blackleg resistance- Standability- Risk Management

• Challenges- Seed size / planter calibration- Height- Standability- Seasonal conditions

Breeding for yield – Hybrids

• Current Traits

Herbicide - Clearfield®

- Roundup Ready®

- Triazine Tolerant

Speciality – HO, LL

• Next Generation Traits

Sclerotinia Resistance [CA]

Better Water Use Efficiency (WUE)

Shatter Resistance

Dwarf Gene [FR]

Nitrogen Use Efficiency (NUE)

Club root [CA]

Drought tolerance

Multiple Traits

Breeding Direction going forward

• Molecular markers

- genomic selection

: enabling very high through-put

- breeding values

• Phenotypic data

: multiple locations

: G x E exposing genetics to a wide range of

environments.

Adding Traits

• New Trait

– Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL’s)

• Linkage drag (yield penalty)

• Backcrossing

Breeding for Yield

Agronomy Trials – Time of Sowing

• OBJECTIVE– To establish how hybrids perform/behave when sown at different

sowing times

– To better understand correlation between early biomass & yield

– To better understand hybrid phenology and effect of TOS on flowering

- Determine what drives flowering time x hybrid– Growing Degree Days (GDD)

– Photoperiod units (Sunlight)

– Vernalisation (Temperature)

– Combination of the above

To determine if sowing time effects disease development

Single NDVI assessment taken on 6 July at both sites

NDVI measured for Date1 (9 Apr) - 88 Days after sowingDate2 (23 Apr) - 74 Days after sowingDate3 (6 May) - 61 Days after sowing

Highest correlation Date3 when plants were 2-3 leaf stage

NDVI x TOS Summary

What happens early…matters!!

Canola sets it’s yield potential early

• Accumulation of leaf size & biomass between emergence and 3 leaf is highly correlated with end yield (early sowing & nutrition)

• TOS 1 & 2 had more rapid canopy closure

• Early sowing resulted in greater weed competition due to increased biomass

• Early sowing resulted in increased soil shading – reducing evaporative losses

• There is likely an optimum level of early biomass in most cropping circumstances, depending soil type, temperature and rainfall distribution

Sclerotinia Infection window

Sclerotinia Infection (1-9 Scale)

TOS Summary

• 1st TOS had greater NDVI / Biomass @ 6th July 2015

• Hybrid days to flower was affected by TOS

• Flowering duration was shortened with later sowing across all

HT segments

• Sclerotinia infection was highest with early sowing and

exacerbated by early flowering

• Early sowing resulted in increased yield - TOS 1 & 2 out yielded

TOS 3 in all HT segments.

• Oil % was higher with early sowing – but not universal
