New Mutations in a Delta-9-Stearoyl-Acyl Carrier Protein Desaturase Gene Associated with Enhanced Stearic Acid Levels in Soybean Seed
2012-07-01
Abstract excerpt
Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] oil from conventional cultivars typically contains ~30 g kg⁻¹ stearic acid of the total seed oil. Increased stearic acid concentration in the seed oil of soybeans is desirable for certain food and industrial uses. To date a small number of mutants have been developed with increased stearic acid levels three to six times that of normal. At least two such lines were found to possess...
