Abstract excerpt
Seed oils from new recombinant high-stearic sunflower lines (Helianthus annuus L.) have been characterized. These new lines were generated by crossing high stearic acid lines between themselves or by crossing them with standard and high-oleic sunflower lines. Of the novel lines generated, the lines CAS-29 and CAS-30 are on a standard background and contain up to 34.5% of stearic acid. In contrast, CAS-15 and...
