Abstract excerpt
Biosynthesis of alpha-linolenate was investigated in developing embryos of the high-linolenic (45%) linseed cv. Glenelg, two mutant lines (M1589 and M1722) having reduced linolenic acid content (30%), and a very low linolenic (2%) genotype (Zero) obtained by recombination of the M1589 and M1722 mutations. Glenelg embryos showed an exponential rate of linolenate synthesis that paralleled their exponential pattern...
