  • 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...
