Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Sunflower is an important oilseed crop domesticated in North America approximately 4000 years ago. During the last century, oil content in sunflower was under strong selection. Further improvement of oil properties achieved by modulating its fatty acid composition is one of the main directions in modern oilseed crop breeding. RESULTS: We searched for the genetic basis of fatty acid content variation...
