Low nitrogen promotes longer roots but limits canola growth. Hybrids thrive under high N, while open-pollinated lines perform better under low N. Funded by AAFC, Sask Oilseeds, Alberta Canola, Manitoba Canola Growers, Canola Council of Canada.

! At AAFC, we identified 4 standout genotypes with longer fruit stalks (easier to harvest), larger, sweeter berries, and richer nutrition. Weather played a key role too.

Drought stress reshapes canola's metabolic and water-loss strategies. Key findings: Cysteine aids stomatal control, epicuticular waxes limit water loss, and phenylalanine boosts drought tolerance.
