Breeding tools for Cuphea : An updated genetic linkage map and fatty acid mutant candidate gene analysis

Creator:

Powers, Carol Anne

Abstract:

Medium chain fatty acids (MCFAs) are important industrial feedstocks for soaps, detergents and surfactants. Interspecific lines derived from Cuphea lanceolata and Cup hea viscosissima are being domesticated as a temperate source of MCFAs. These species also serve as model organisms for understanding the biosynthesis of MCFAs in seeds. Various markers...
