Origin and Breeding: ‘Toki’ originated from the cross Ken Feng/AC Proteus(X3153-B-B-1-8)*2/2/Tamba Black, made by the Eastern Cereal and Oilseed Research Centre, Agriculture & Agri-Food Canada, Ottawa, Ontario. The F2 population was grown in Ottawa in 1994. Pedigree selection was employed through the F5 generation. In the F5 generation, selected progeny rows were bulked for evaluation in following generations. ‘Toki’ was tested as X3790-11-5-1 in Ottawa in 1998 and 1999 and tested as OT02-16 at multiple locations in Ontario and Quebec from 2000 to 2004.
