Abstract

Provided is a canola variety designated 46M34 and seed, plants and plant parts thereof produced from a cross of inbred varieties. Methods for producing a canola variety comprise crossing canola variety 46M34 with another canola plant. Methods for producing a canola plant containing in its genetic material one or more traits introgressed into 46M34 through backcross conversion and/or transformation, and to the canola seed, plant and plant part produced thereby are described. Canola variety 46M34, the seed, the plant produced from the seed, plant parts and variants, mutants, and minor modifications of canola variety 46M34 are disclosed.

Claims

1. A canola variety 46M34, representative seed of the variety having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-122191.

2. A seed of the canola variety of claim 1.

3. The seed of claim 2, further comprising a seed treatment.

4. The seed of claim 3, wherein the treatment comprises a fungicide or insecticide.

5. A method comprising cleaning the seed of claim 2.

6. A method of producing a canola seed, the method comprising planting the seed of claim 2 to produce a subsequent generation of seed;

harvesting the subsequent generation of seed; and

planting the subsequent generation of seed.

7. The seed of claim 2, further comprising a trait introduced by backcrossing or genetic transformation.

8. The seed of claim 7, wherein the trait is selected from the group consisting of male sterility, a site for site-specific recombination, abiotic stress tolerance, altered phosphate, altered antioxidants, altered fatty acids, altered essential amino acids, altered carbohydrates, herbicide resistance, insect resistance and disease resistance.

9. The seed of claim 7, further comprising a seed treatment.

10. The seed of claim 9, wherein the treatment comprises a fungicide or insecticide.

11. A method comprising cleaning the seed of claim 7.

12. A plant or plant part of the canola variety of claim 1.

13. A method of producing a second canola plant, the method comprising applying plant breeding techniques to the plant or plant part of claim 12, thereby producing the second canola plant.

14. A method for producing a canola plant derived from canola variety 46M34, the method comprising:

(a) crossing the plant of claim 12 with itself or a second plant to produce progeny seed;

(b) growing the progeny seed to produce a progeny plant and crossing the progeny plant with itself or a different plant to produce further progeny seed; and

(c) repeating step (b) for at least one additional generation to produce a canola plant derived from the variety 46M34.

15. A method for producing a second canola plant or plant part, the method comprising doubling haploid seed generated from a cross of the plant or plant part of claim 12 with an inducer variety, thereby producing the second maize plant or plant part.

16. The plant or plant part of claim 12, further comprising a trait introduced by backcrossing or genetic transformation.

17. The plant or plant part of claim 16, wherein the trait is selected from the group consisting of male sterility, a site for site-specific recombination, abiotic stress tolerance, altered phosphate, altered antioxidants, altered fatty acids, altered essential amino acids, altered carbohydrates, herbicide resistance, insect resistance and disease resistance.

18. A method for producing a second canola plant or plant part, the method comprising applying plant breeding techniques to the plant or plant part of claim 16, thereby producing the second canola plant.

19. A method for producing a canola plant derived from canola variety 46M34, the method comprising:

(a) crossing the plant of claim 16 with itself or a second plant to produce progeny seed;

(b) growing the progeny seed to produce a progeny plant and crossing the progeny plant with itself or a different plant to produce further progeny seed; and

(c) repeating step (b) for at least one additional generation to produce a canola plant derived from the variety 46M34 and further comprising the trait.

20. A method for producing a second canola plant or plant part, the method comprising doubling haploid seed generated from a cross of the plant or plant part of claim 16 with an inducer variety, thereby producing the second maize plant or plant part.
