Mapping quantitative trait loci underlying genome-wide recombination rate and mating system differences in meadowfoam

Creator:

Kishore, Venkata Krishna

Abstract:

Meadowfoam (Limnanthes alba Bentham; Order: Brassicales; Family: Limnanthaceae) is a self-compatible, predominantly allogamous, insect pollinated species. Meadowfoam oil is a source of novel unsaturated very-long-chain (VLC) seed oils (C₂₀ and C₂₂) with low concentrations of saturated fatty acids (typically less than 2%) and outstanding oxidative stability. Here we report the...

Molecular mechanisms underlying the high oleic acid phenotype in sunflower

Creator:

Schuppert, Gunnar Felix

Abstract:

Wildtype sunflower typically produces 12-24% oleic acid (18:1) and 70-82% linoleic acid (18:2). High-oleic sunflower, by contrast, produces up to 80-94% oleic acid. The monounsaturated oleic acid has a greater oxidative stability than the polyunsaturated linoleic acid, predominant in wildtype sunflower, and has greater nutritional benefits than polyunsaturated and saturated...
