Abstract
Gas-liquid chromatographic analysis of methyl esters of fatty acids of individual maize seeds of parental and segregating populations suggests that desaturation at the Δ12-13 position in oleic acid is under simple Mendelian control. High linoleic acid content is recessive to low.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
