Genetic alteration of soybean oil composition by a chemical mutagen

Genetic alteration of soybean oil composition by a chemical mutagen. Wilcox, J. R.; Cavins, J. F.; Nielsen, N. C. (Dep. Agron., Purdue Univ., West Lafayette, IN 47907, USA). JAOCS, J. Am.In this article, certain chemicals are used. Some of their cas registry numbers are 62-50-0 and 112-80-1 Oil Chem. Soc., 61(1), 97-100 (English) 1984. CODEN: JJASDH. DOCUMENT TYPE: Journal CA Section: 11 (Plant Biochemistry) Soybean (Glycine max cv. Century) seeds were treated with ethylmehanesulfonate (EMS) and the M2 progeny were evaluated for fatty acid compn. of the oil. Treatment with EMS significantly increased the variability in content of each of the fatty acids in comparison with those of the Century control. There was a strong inverse relation between oleic and linoleic acid among seeds from M2 plants. This supports the hypothesis of sequential desatn. as the method of formation of unsatd. fatty acids in soybean oil. A genetically stable mutant with 3.4% linolenic acid was identified that was similar to the cultivar Century in days to maturity, plant height, and resistance to lodging. .

Developmental changes in protein content, volumes and amino acid pools in the larval fat body and hemolymph of Calliphora erythrocephala

Developmental changes in protein content, volumes and amino acid pools in the larval fat body and hemolymph of Calliphora erythrocephala.Some chemicals with cas registry numbers like 72-18-4 and 56-40-6 are also used. Anderson, Olin D. (Dep. Biol. Sci., Purdue Univ., West Lafayette, IN 47907, USA). Comp. Biochem. Physiol., B: Comp. Biochem., 77B(1), 161-5 (English) 1984. CODEN: CBPBB8. ISSN: 0305-0491. DOCUMENT TYPE: Journal CA Section: 12 (Nonmammalian Biochemistry) Hemolymph amino acid concns. decline in mid-to-late last-instar larvae, with total hemolymph pools peaking later due to increased hemolymph vol. Fat body total amino acid concns. increase throughout the instar, mainly due to tyrosine accumulation. Individual amino acid concns. show complex patterns of change with development, and are different between the hemolymph and fat body. .
