	Stefansson, Baldur Rosmund
		Baldur Rosmund Stefansson, plant breeder (b at Vestfold, Man 26 Apr 1917).
		Stefansson has been a leader in development of rapeseed from an unadapted crop producing modest amounts of industrial oil to an adapted food and feed crop (CANOLA) rivalling wheat in acreage and value.
		Baldur Stefansson and R.K. Downey first identified the first low erucic plants in rape, which led to the development of canola (Corel Professional Photos).

	Baldur Rosmund Stefansson, BSA, MSc, PhD
		Baldur Stefansson made a major contribution to Canada, Canadians, and people around the world through his outstanding work in developing canola.
		Baldur, often referred to as the "father of canola", was born at Vestfold, Manitoba, to Gudmundur and Jonina Stefansson, a pioneer Icelandic family.
		However, rapeseed oil, with its high level of erucic acid, was a threat to human health, and rapeseed meal, because of its high level of glucosinolates, was unsuitable as feed for livestock.

		Baldur Stefansson is one of Manitoba's most distinguished plant scientists and the father of the new breed of canola which he derived from selections of rapeseed.
		Stefansson's father had come from Iceland in 1910 and settled in Vestfold in the Interlake between Lundar and Inwood.
		While hemp was an attractive possibility, Stefansson and his colleagues knew that the govt would not permit research with this plant.

		Also known as "LEAR" oil (for Low Erucic Acid Rapeseed), Canola oil was initially bred in Canada by Keith Downey and Baldur Stefansson in the 1970s[citation needed].
		In 1968, Dr. Baldur Stefansson of the University of Manitoba used selective breeding to develop a low erucic acid variety of rapeseed.
		In 1974 another variety was produced with both a low erucic acid content and a low level of glucosinolates; this was dubbed Canola, from Canadian Oil Low Acid.

	Language Log: Couch Potatoes and Canola
		The traditional name for this plant is rape; the oil is known as rapeseed oil.
		Canola is a trademark for a particular cultivar of rape developed in Canada by Keith Downey and Baldur Stefansson.
		Their cultivar was an improvement because it contains much lower levels of the glucosinolates, which give the oil a bitter flavor, and of erucic acid, an amino acid, which causes heart lesions.

		Stefansson is a native of Manitoba who received his PhD from the University of Manitoba and went on to teach at that institution, specializing in agriculture and food sciences and conducting ground-breaking research that helped transform rapeseed into canola.
		As an oilseed breeder he recognized the potential of oilseed rape as an edible crop in temperate climates.
		Stefansson's collaborative research led to breeding and selection programs which eliminated harmful ingredients of early varieties and increased oil and meal protein content.

		At that time, animal nutritionists also expressed concerns about the sharp-tasting, anti-nutritive glucosinolates that were affecting the meal quality of rapeseed (meal is the portion left after canola seed is crushed to remove the oil).
		In 1974, Dr. Baldur Stefansson, a University of Manitoba plant breeder, developed the first "double low" variety of rapeseed with reduced levels of both erucic acid and glucosinolates.
		This Brassica napus variety, named Tower, was the first variety to meet the specific quality requirements used to identify a greatly improved crop known as canola.

		Baldur Stefánsson, the group's 'cultural ambassador,' is sitting by the window of a Queen Street restaurant, happily slurping away at a milkshake, oblivious to the urban tundra and the glum faces surrounding him both inside and out.
		Its follow-up is a conundrum that shifts from cool, angular Euro house to somnambulant trip-hoppy stuff to knowing girly pop -- a far cry from the dusky tones of most of their labelmates.
		Baldur's 'cultural ambassador' moniker not only suits his duties with Gus Gus, but his native country as well, which he never tires talking of.

		Polydistortion is the first disc in a five-record deal with 4AD, and Stefansson is of the belief that label chief Ivo Watts-Russell will likely play sugar-daddy to some of their film (ad)ventures too - not a bad deal at all.

		Bio: Being a quirky co-ed nine-piece from Reykjavik, Iceland, Gus Gus was almost bound to inspire comparisons to the Sugarcubes, though the onset of ten years caused the group to inherit the influences of electronic fuzz and trip-hop rhythms rather than the bout of post-punk lunacy which inspired the Sugarcubes during the late '80s.
		Begun as a cinema concern in early 1995 by filmmakers Stefán Árni and Siggi Kjartansson, the group was gradually expanded to include musicians such as DJ Herb Legowitz and programmer Biggi Thórarinsson as well as singer/songwriters Daníel Ágúst, Hafdís Huld and Magnús Jónsson (former actors all), a cinematographer (Steph) and a producer (Baldur Stefánsson).
