Abstract
Allons (Brassica napus L.) is a low linolenic acid canola cultivar whi ch produces seed oil with an average linolenic acid content of 2.5%. T he low linolenic oil has a shorter hydrogenation time and greater stab ility than standard canola oil. Allons is higher yielding and contains higher seed oil and lower meal protein than the low linolenic cultiva r Stellar. Allons is adapted to the long season B. napus canola growin g areas of western Canada.
