Notes:
Fatty-acid composition was studied in a half diallel in opium poppies using six parents, F1 and F2. Poppy is an oleic-linoleic-acid type of crop with a low level of linolenic acid of up to 3% or only trace. Transgressive segregation was observed in F2 having up to 81% linoleic acid making it suitable for development as a high-linoleic-acid crop. This is the first report of its kind in opium poppy.
