Canada: Canadian scientists contribute to international effort to sequence the canola genome

An Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) researcher from Saskatoon, Dr. Isobel Parkin, is part of an international team that has deciphered the complex genome of Brassica napus, extensively cultivated as "canola" in Canada. Dr. Boulos Chalhoub, from the National Institute for Agricultural Research (INRA) in France, led a team of scientists from 30 research institutes from all regions where the crop is produced, including National Research Council Canada (NRC).

According to Dr. Chalhoub, "Canada's contribution was an essential component of the research, assisting with the complicated task of assembling the canola genome and providing access to the genome for one of the ancestral parental species."
