Temperature affects major fatty acid biosynthesis in noug (Guizotia abyssinica) self-compatible lines
The study suggests a significant contribution of genotype to the variation in seed setting and environmental factors (mostly temperature) to the oleic acid content. The noug SC-lines showed highly significant variation in seed setting and oleic acid content, which could be used for improving the crop's seed yield and oil quality.
