Abstract:Analyses of seeds from a wide range of pea lines have revealed extensive variation for all of the major fatty acids normally found in pisum. Unlike total lipid content, this variation was not affected by the presence of mutant alleles at the r and rb loci. To allow chemically analysed seed to be used in crosses, which is of particular importance for F2 seed, a method has been developed by which individual seeds can be analysed non-destructively. This system entails drilling a small hole in the seed, away from the embryonic axis. The small quantity of powder produced by this process can be used for the chemical analysis but does not prevent the seed from being grown to produce progeny. Reducing the sample size had no significant effect upon the compositional analysis of the fatty acids.
Keywords:Pisum sativum    fatty-acid composition    single-seed analysis    variation
