Oil Quality Improvement in Soybeans‐Glycine max (L.) Merr.

Abstract: Plant breeding was used to reduce the linolenic acid content of soybean oil and improve oil stability. By crossing strains with the lowest linolenic acid content available, it was possible to produce offspring with amounts of linolenic acid 1 to 1.5% lower than the best parental strain. The selection of desirable strains was greatly accelerated by growing plants in Puerto Rico during the winter. Mutagenic agents (X‐rays and ethyl methylsulfonate) were used in an attempt to introduce more variability for fatty … Show more

“…Our second strategy was to use X‐ray irradiation to induce genetic changes (Hammond and Fehr, 1975; Hammond et al, 1972). We found individual mutant plants that had interesting modifications in fatty acid composition, but none of them produced progeny with the same modification.…”

“…It has been hypothesized that maternal eff ects for oil (Singh and Hadley, 1968) and protein (Singh and Hadley, 1972) percentages in soybean may refl ect a diff erential supply of substrate from the maternal plant to the seed. Additionally, Hammond and Fehr (1975) have suggested that factors translocated from the maternal parent, such as growth regulators, could control expression of genes within the seed that regulate fatty acid composition. This idea has some support from Carver et al (1987) who concluded through a series of grafting studies that the genotype of the maternal plant might control phenotypic expression of fatty acid percentages in soybean seed via translocated factors (maternal phenotypic eff ects).…”

“…Modification of the fatty acid composition of soybean oil to make it more competitive in various segments of the food and industrial oil markets (1) has been an important objective of plant breeding and molecular genetics in recent years. Altered fatty acid compositions have been developed through traditional plant breeding (2) and application of chemical mutagens (3)(4)(5)(6) that have extended the range of the five major fatty acids found normally in soybean oil (palmitate, stearate, oleate, linoleate, and linolenate). Aside from the triglycerides (TG), which typically make up more than 99% of refined soybean oil, soybeans also contain 0.3 to 0.6% phospholipids (PL), with phosphatidylcholine (PC), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), and phosphatidylinositol (PI) being the major classes (7).…”
