  • DNA fingerprinting and genome mapping in meadowfoam

    Creator:
    Katengam, Sureeporn
    Abstract:
    Marker information in the new oilseed crop, meadowfoam, is limited. Molecular markers to facilitate meadowfoam breeding and cultivar improvement are not available. The knowledge of genetic relationships among recent germplasm is not known. The objectives of this study were (i) to gain an understanding of genetic diversity and relationship patterns...

  • Genetics of low erucic acid and cytological analyses of wide hybrids in meadowfoam

    Creator:
    Gandhi, Sonali Dilip
    Abstract:
    Cultivated meadowfoam (Limnanthes alba Benth.) is an annual oil seed crop native to southern Oregon. California and British Columbia. The genus Limnanthes is composed of nine species and divided into two sections, Inflexae and Reflexae. The seed oil of meadowfoam is a rich source of erucic acid and several novel...

  • 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...

  • Physiological, Chemical and Genetic Studies in Meadowfoam (Limnanthes alba)

    Creator:
    Zhang, Jun
    Abstract:
    Meadowfoam (Limnanthes alba) is an oilseed crop with unique chemical characteristics. The ability to identify physiological maturity (PM) and harvest maturity HM of the crop would permit timely harvest of high quality seeds. However, changes of oil contents, fatty acid profile and glucosinolate contents, as well as seed quality during...
