Claims
- 1-16. (Cancelled)
- 17. A method comprising
a) providing a population of dihaploid Brassica plants; and b) selecting at least one Brassica plant from said population, said selected plant producing seeds yielding an oil, said oil exhibiting an oxidative stability measured in AOM hours that is increased relative to the oxidative stability of a generic canola oil, said generic canola oil having an oleic acid content of 60.9% to 62.6% and an α-linolenic acid content of 8% to 10%.
- 18. The method of claim 17, wherein said population of dihaploid Brassica plants is obtained from a cross of a first Brassica plant having a high oleic acid content and a second Brassica plant having a low α-linolenic acid content.
- 19. The method of claim 18, wherein said first Brassica plant is a plant designated IMC129 and having ATCC Accession No. 40811.
- 20. The method of claim 18, wherein said second Brassica plant is a plant designated IMC01 and having ATCC Accession No. 40579.
- 21. The method of claim 18, wherein said first Brassica plant is a progeny of a plant designated IMC129 and having ATCC Accession No. 40811.
- 22. The method of claim 18, wherein said second Brassica plant is a progeny of a plant designated IMC01 and having ATCC Accession No. 40579.
- 23. The method of claim 18, wherein said oxidative stability of said oil from said selected plant is increased 1.6 to 2.7× relative to the oxidative stability of said generic canola oil.
- 24. The method of claim 22, wherein said first Brassica plant is a progeny of a plant designated IMC129 and having ATCC Accession No. 40811.
- 25. The method of claim 18, wherein said first Brassica plant is a plant designated IMC130 and having ATCC Accession No. 75446.
- 26. The method of claim 18, wherein said second Brassica plant is a plant designated IMC130 and having ATCC Accession No. 75446.
- 27. The method of claim 17, further comprising creating a variety from said at least one Brassica plant, wherein plants of said variety produce seeds yielding said oil.
- 28. The method of claim 27, further comprising extracting a crude oil from seeds of said variety.
- 29. The method of claim 28, further comprising processing said crude oil to produce a refined, bleached, and deodorized (RBD) oil.
- 30. The method of claim 28, further comprising hydrogenating said RBD oil.
- 31. The method of claim 29, said method further comprising frying a food in said RBD oil.
