Think of all of the insignificant events that hold such huge meanings: a little out-of-the-way town of Bethlehem, an animal’s manger, an obscure carpenter and his young wife, a bunch of uneducated fishermen, a few loaves and a couple of fish, a rooster crowing, a tree that’s wood would someday be a cross, a tomb with a stone rolled away. The significant lesson that Jesus draws from the mustard plant is the fact that a huge, significant plant can come from a small, insignificant beginning like a little seed. Mustard seeds were cultivated for their oil during biblical times and were ground into powder for both culinary and medicinal purposes. The birds enjoyed feasting on the tiny black seeds. The parable in today’s lesson can also be found in Matthew 13:31-32 and Luke 13:18-19.Ī familiar sight in Palestine was a six to twelve foot mustard bush filled with a flock of birds. You will be amazed at the bridges you build. Arrange to have your class visit someone in their home to read Scriptures and sing songs to them. Host an afternoon tea where the children in your class have done some baking for the elderly. Also find ways to get the old and young together. Encourage them to guide and nurture them and not just judge them. Remind them to be patient with the children. Gently remind people that they were little seeds once, themselves. They need to know that they can play a part in helping the kingdom grow.Īs a Bible Class Teacher, be an ambassador for the children of your congregation. They need to see how they fit into God’s family. Children can be good and try their best but adults at church might only notice them when they are “noisy’ or “running around.” They are literally small – like the mustard seed. Sometimes they get the “children are to be seen and not heard” attitude or they are just ignored. Often children feel very insignificant in the church. In conclusion, hybrid breeding based on the improved Ogura cytoplasmic system has successfully led to breaking the yield plateau that had existed for 40 years in condiment mustard breeding in Canada.This parable is a great one for children. In conclusion, AAC Brown 18, like Centennial Brown, is well adapted to all mustard growing areas in western Canada.įurthermore, Oriental mustard test hybrids were developed and evaluated in the Mustard Adaption Test in 2019 and showed 20% – 29% higher yields than the check variety Cutlass. Like the check variety, Amigo, it is resistant to white rust race 2a of which Centennial Brown is susceptible. AAC Brown 18 has significantly higher (21%) yield than the check variety Centennial Brown.
#Mustard seed registration#
AAC Brown 18 is the first brown mustard hybrid variety developed using the improved Ogura cytoplasmic hybrid system at AAFC-SRDC.ĪAC Brown 18 was registered in Canada and assigned registration number 8592 by the CFIA on August 31, 2018. The Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada Saskatoon Research and Development Centre (AAFC-SRDC) has developed an improved breeding technique (Ogura cytoplasmic male sterility restorer line) that has drastically reduced the number of undesirable traits linked to the desirable ones. napus) and the same strategy can be used to substantially increase the seed yield of condiment mustards.
Hybrid breeding has successfully led to the increase in seed yields in canola ( B. juncea has remained stagnated until recent hybrid breeding breakthroughs. Quality traits, such as protein and oil content, have been improved via the pedigree breeding system, but the seed yield of B. Pedigree selection has been used as a major breeding method for cultivar development since it is a self-fertilized crop. In Canada, brown and oriental mustards are grown as condiment mustard crops in the
