Abstract
The fatty acid composition of the seed oil of a number of species of Linum was determined by gas chromatography and found to vary considerably. The species studied had n = 8, 9, 10, 14, 15, 18, 30 chromosomes. Differences in fatty acid composition, particularly in the Hnolenic and linoleic acid fractions, were found to be associated with chromosome number and flower color. The genetic and phylogenetic implications of these findings are discussed.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
