Abstract excerpt
In the present work we carried out analytical and biochemical studies on a new high-n-7 monounsaturated fatty acid sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) mutant. This new line, which has been selected by classical methods of breeding and mutagenesis, shows contents of unusual acyl chains up to 20% (12% of 16:1DELTA9, 5% of 16:2delta9,12 and 6% of 18:1delta11), whereas those fatty acids are found in negligible amounts...
