Genetic analyses of adaptive evolution in seed oil composition in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana : a quantitative genetic approach

Natural variation in the relative proportions of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids in seed oils of plants is enormous when considered across a broad taxonomic range of oil seeds. It has been shown that this variation follows a latitudinal cline where the proportions of unsaturated fatty acids in...
