Microsomal omega-3 fatty acid desaturase genes in low linolenic acid soybean line RG10 and validation of major linolenic acid QTL

High levels of linolenic acid (80 g kg-1) are associated with the development of off-flavours and poor stability in soybean oil. The development of low linolenic acid lines such as RG10 (20 g kg-1 linolenic acid) can reduce these problems. The level of linolenic acid in seed oil is determined by th...
