Fatty acid composition of oil in eight early maturing soybean genotypes

The most suitable fatty acid phenotypes for soybean oil are those with less than 7 % saturates, less than 3 % linolenic acid, and more than 55 % oleic acid as these have the most applications for food, feed and industry. The aim of this three year trial (2010-2012) was to give insight into fatty acid compostion of eight early maturing soybean genotypes. The experimental and biometrical results indicate existance of variability in phenotypic expression with all five fatty acid averages coinciding with the average values for commercial soybean. Divergence was also observed in phenotypic reaction of genotypes to different environments which resulted in significant variability for year effects. Given results should be beneficial in determining and planning future breeding strategies for altering fatty acid content values in domestic soybean germplasm, thus enhancing the added value properties of final soybean products for industry and end consumers, making it an integral part of sustainable production.
