Genetic and environmental influences on fatty acid and tocopherol diversity in quinoa germplasm
The existence of wide genetic diversity for grain oil content, fatty acid profile, and tocopherol content and profile in quinoa germplasm, together with the medium to high heritability of these traits, suggests the feasibility of improving these characters through breeding.
