Molecular-assisted breeding for soybean with high oleic/low linolenic acid and elevated vitamin E in the seed oil. [PDF]
Mol Breed, 2021 The uses of vegetable oils are determined by functional properties arising from their chemical composition. Soybean oil was previously used in margarines and baked foods after partial hydrogenation to achieve heat and oxidative stability.

Genetic variation of six desaturase genes in flax and their impact on fatty acid composition. [PDF]
Theor Appl Genet, 2013 Flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) is one of the richest plant sources of omega-3 fatty acids praised for their health benefits. In this study, the extent of the genetic variability of genes encoding stearoyl-ACP desaturase (SAD), and fatty acid desaturase 2 (

Determination of fatty acid composition in seed oil of rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) by mutated alleles of the FAD3 desaturase genes. [PDF]
J Appl Genet, 2012 One of the goals in oilseed rape programs is to develop genotypes producing oil with low linolenic acid content (C18:3, ≤3%). Low linolenic mutant lines of canola rapeseed were obtained via chemical mutagenesis at the Plant Breeding and Acclimatization ...

Development of SNP Genotyping Assays for Seed Composition Traits in Soybean. [PDF]
Int J Plant Genomics, 2017 Seed composition is one of the most important determinants of the economic values in soybean. The quality and quantity of different seed components, such as oil, protein, and carbohydrates, are crucial ingredients in food, feed, and numerous industrial products.

Whole-Genome Identification of the Flax Fatty Acid Desaturase Gene Family and Functional Analysis of the LuFAD2.1 Gene Under Cold Stress Conditions. [PDF]
Plant Cell EnvironABSTRACT Fatty acid desaturase (FAD) is essential for plant growth and development and plant defence response. Although flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) is an important oil and fibre crop, but its FAD gene remains understudied. This study identified 43 LuFAD genes in the flax genome.

Soybean Oil-Quality Variants Identified by Large-Scale Mutagenesis [PDF]
International Journal of Agronomy, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012 To identify genetic variation for fatty acid composition in mature soybean seeds, 4566 M3 generation seed samples from a chemically mutagenized population were subjected to fatty acid profiling by gas chromatography.

Expression of the Arabidopsis WRINKLED 1 transcription factor leads to higher accumulation of palmitate in soybean seed [PDF]
Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 17, Issue 7, Page 1369-1379, July 2019., 2019 Soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) is a commodity crop highly valued for its protein and oil content. The high percentage of polyunsaturated fatty acids in soybean oil results in low oxidative stability, which is a key parameter for usage in baking, high ...
