Inheritance of S117N alleles of FAD2-1A results in increased mean oleic acid and decreased linoleic acid soybean seed oil. Soybean lines with contrasting homozygous mutant or wild-type FAD2-1A alleles were developed from a cross of line 17D with Williams 82. Homozygous mutant S117N FAD2-1A lines (FAD2-1aa) and homozygous wild-type (FAD2-1AA) lines were grown in the field in 2008. Fatty acid profiles were determined for individual seeds and histograms of mutant (spotted) or wild-type (diagonal lines) represent the mean relative palmitic acid (16:0), stearic acid (18:0), oleic acid (18:1), linoleic acid (18:2), and linolenic acid (18:3) content of the oil. Error bars represent plus and minus one standard deviation of the mean.
