A Seed Specific Δ‐12 Oleate Desaturase Gene Is Duplicated, Rearranged, and Weakly Expressed in High Oleic Acid Sunflower Lines
1998-09-01
Abstract excerpt
The seed oils of wild‐type sunflower ( Helianthus annuus L.) germplasm typically contain 140 to 350 g kg −1 oleic acid (18:1). Sunflower germplasm with 800 to 950 g kg −1 18:1 (high oleic germplasm) has been developed with a dominant mutation ( Ol ) originating from the cultivar ‘Pervenets’. We speculated that this mutation reduced the activity or expression of a Δ‐12 ol eate d esaturase (OLD) gene. This was teste...
