The experimental materials consisted of 477 spring-type B. napus (canola) genotypes with double-low seed quality (low erucic acid and low glucosinolate content) from a previously described breeding programme (Jan et al. 2016, 2019; Knoch et al. 2020). The largest proportion, 475 lines, comprised genetically diverse pollinator lines that could be assigned to three breeding pools (referred to as breeding pools 1, 2 and 3). The pollinator lines were derived from 184 crosses, with some elite parents used in several crosses. The F1 hybrid population with 950 individuals was created by crossing the 475 pollinators with two elite male-sterile testers (MS1 and MS2) from a pool of testers carrying the Male Sterility Lembke (MSL) sterility system (NPZ Lembke, Hohenlieth, Germany).
