Genotype x Environment Interactions, Stability, and Agronomic Performance of Soybean with Altered Fatty Acid Profiles.

There has been a major effort to produce soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] lines with modified fatty acid profiles in order to improve quality and develop new uses for soybean oil.

Inheritance and Interaction of Low Palmitic and Low Linolenic Soybean.

Decreasing the palmitic and linolenic acid content of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] oil would help improve its nutritional quality and oxidative stability. The altered fatty acid profile in soybean germplasm lines with decreased levels of palmitic and linolenic acid have been developed at the University of Guelph, Canada, by combining different mutant alleles through hybridization.
