Summary In vitro microspore mutagenesis and selection was used to produce five fertile double-haploid imidazolinone-tolerant canola plants. The S2 plants of three of the mutants were resistant to at least the field-recommended levels of Assert and Pursuit. One mutant was tolerant to between five and ten times the field-recommended rates of Pursuit and Scepter. Two semi-dominant mutants, representing two unlinked genes, were combined to produce an F1 hybrid which was superior in imidazolinone tolerance to either of the heterozygous mutants alone. Evaluation of the mutants under field conditions indicated that this hybrid and the original homozygous mutants could tolerate at least two times the field-recommended rates of Assert. The field results indicated the mutants were unaffected in seed yield, maturity, quality and disease tolerance. These genes represent a potentially valuable new herbicide resistance system for canola, which has little effect on yield, quality or maturity. The mutants could be used to provide tolerance to several imidazolinones including Scepter, Pursuit and Assert.
