Goals / Objectives
Perform fatty acid analyses of experimental soybean lines for lower palmitic and linolenic and higher oleic acid content in soybean.
Project Methods
Fatty acid concentrations of selected mutant lines of soybean with genotypes with specific 'fap', 'fan', or 'ol' alleles will be determined using gas chromatographic techniques to aid in identifying genetic relationships between existing germplasm and new mutants.

Outputs
4d Progress report. This report serves to document research conducted under a specific cooperative agreement between ARS and the University of Missouri. Additional details of this research can be found in the report for the parent project 3622-21000-020-00D, Modification of seed composition for food, feed, and industrial uses of soybean. The objective of this cooperative research project was to perform fatty acid analyses of experimental soybean lines for lower palmitic and linolenic and higher oleic acid content in soybean. Fatty acid concentrations were determined for selected soybean lines with specific fap, fan, or ol alleles to aid in identifying genetic relationships between existing germplasm and new mutants. Over 22,000 determinations were made using gas chromatographic techniques. The determinations of fatty acid production in existing germplasm and of new mutant alleles be used to develop cultivars with superior oil composition.

    4. What were the most significant accomplishments this past year? D. Progress Report: This report serves to document research conducted under a specific cooperative agreement between ARS and the University of Missouri. Additional details of research can be found in the report of the parent CRIS project 3622-21000-020-00D, "Modification of seed composition for food, feed, and industrial uses of soybean" and supports work toward modification of soybean seed composition. The objective of this cooperative research project is to perform fatty acid analyses of experimental soybean lines for lower palmitic and linolenic, and higher oleic acid content in soybean. Fatty acid concentrations of selected mutant lines of soybean with genotypes with specific 'fap', 'fan', or 'ol' alleles have been determined using gas chromatographic techniques. Results from these analyses are being used to indicate the genetic relationships between existing germplasm and new mutants. If new alleles for modified fatty acid content are identified, they can be incorporated via breeding programs.
