Abstract
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-lino lenic cultivar Stellar with higher seed oil and lower seed protein con tent than Stellar. Apollo is adapted to the southern B. napus canola g rowing areas of western Canada.
