POLYMORPHISM OF SAD AND FAD DESATURASE GENES IN LINSEED (LINUM USITATISSIMUM L.)
Abstract
The genetic variability of sad and fad desaturase genes of linseed was analyzed according to sequencing data. The impact assessment of various allelic variants of these genes on the fatty acid composition of linseed oil was given. The obtained data for the structure and polymorphism of desaturase genes can be used in developing marker systems for markerassisted selection of linseed and in creating varieties with an improved fatty acid composition of oil.
