摘要:
Soybeans (ie., Glycine max L. Merr.) possessing a novel genetic determinant for the enhanced production of palmitic acid in the endogenously formed vegetable oil of the seeds are provided. Such genetic determinant is the homogeneous recessive fap5fap5 gene pair that has been found to be capable of formation through mutagenesis. Once formed, such genetic determinant can be readily transferred to other soybean lines and cultivars where it is similarly expressed on a reliable basis under conventional field growing conditions. In a preferred embodiment when a soybean plant possesses the combined presence of the homogeneous recessive genes (1) fap2-bfap2-b, (2) fap4fap4, as well as (3) fap5fap5 for enhanced palmitic acid formation in the seeds, it has been found that an unusually high expression for palmitic acid production in the resulting vegetable oil of the seeds is provided that is in excess of 30 up to approximately 37 percent by weight based upon the total fatty acid content. A resulting vegetable oil is made possible in this instance that is particularly well suited for margarine preparation in absence of the need for hydrogenation.
摘要:
A method is described for producing soybean varieties and lines exhibiting low palmitic acid contents of less than about 6.0% of the total fatty acid composition down to no more than about 2.4% or lower. The novel soybean lines are obtained by crossing C1726 and A1973NMU-173 and by utilizing selected progeny from such crossing. Soybean lines having stearic acid contents of less than about 3.0%, down to about 1.5% and total saturated fatty acid contents less than about 7.0% down to no more than about 4.0% are also disclosed.
摘要:
A novel soybean seed and plant designated ElginEMS-421 having ATCC Accession No. 97617 and its descendents are provided. Such soybean seed exhibits an elevated palmitic acid (C16:0) content of at least 15.7% by weight based upon the total fatty acid content in the endogenously formed vegetable oil.
摘要:
A novel soybean seed and plant capable of producing the same are provided. Such soybean seed contains an endogenous linolenic acid (C18:3) content in the vegetable oil at a low level of less than 3.0% (preferably less than about 2.5%) by weight in combination with an elevated stearic acid (C18:0) content of about 20% to 32% by weight based upon the total fatty acid content. The soybean seed is capable upon germination of producing a plant that likewise forms seeds having an endogenous linolenic acid content in the vegetable oil of less than 3.0% (preferably less than about 2.5%) by weight in combination with an elevated stearic acid content of about 20% to 32% by weight based upon the total fatty acid content. The linolenic acid and stearic acid contents of the endogenously formed vegetable oil are determined by gas chromatography (as described).
摘要:
Soybeans (i.e., Glycine max L. Merr.) possessing a novel genetic determinant for the reduced production of linolenic acid in the endogenously formed vegetable oil of the seeds are provided. Such genetic determinant is the homozygous recessive fan3fan3 gene pair that has been found to be capable of formation through mutagenesis. Once formed, such genetic determinant can be readily transferred to other soybean lines and cultivars where it is similarly expressed on a reliable basis under conventional field growing conditions. In a preferred embodiment a soybean plant possesses the combined presence of the homozygous recessive gene pairs (1) fan1fan1 or fan1(A5)fan1(A5), (2) fan2fan2, as well as (3) fan3fan3 for reduced linolenic acid formation in the seeds and has been found that an unusually low expression for linolenic acid production in the resulting vegetable oil of the seeds is provided that is less than 1.3 percent by weight and most preferably is no more than 1.1 percent by weight based on the total fatty acid content. A vegetable oil is made possible in this instance that is particularly well suited for frying applications in the absence of the need for hydrogenation.
摘要:
A soybean vegetable oil obtained by crushing and extraction from mature soybean seeds is provided in which the endogenously formed concentrations of both palmitic acid (C16:0) and stearic acid (C18:0) are simultaneously elevated. Neither elevated saturated fatty acid concentration is negated by the expression of the other saturated fatty acid in the elevated concentration. The endogenously formed palmitic acid content is from about 14% to about 24% and the endogenously formed stearic acid content is from about 20% to about 30% by weight of the total fatty acid composition. In a preferred embodiment, the endogenously formed linolenic acid (C18:3) component of the soybean oil is no more than about 3% by weight of the total fatty acid composition.
摘要:
A method is described for producing soybean varieties and lines exhibiting palmitic acid contents of at least about 18.0% up to 30.0% or more. The novel soybean lines are obtained from a soybean seed designated A1937NMU-85 and its descendants, particular desirable progeny resulting from the cross of A1937NMU-85 with ElginEMS-421, and further with the cross of selected progeny with A89-259098.

摘要:
A method is described for producing soybean varieties and lines exhibiting palmitic acid content of at least about 14.0% and a stearic acid content of at least about 14.0%. Such high saturated fatty acid content soybeans may also, if desired, have a linolenic acid content of less than about 3.0%. The novel soybean lines are obtained by crossing A6 and A17 or by crossing A89-259098 with AX4663-5-4-5.
