Fig. 4. Phenotype of selected F3 genotypes homozygous for different combinations of the GmFAD3A and GmFAD3C wild-type and mutant alleles. Seven lines were selected from genotyped F2 plants, representing all homozygous combinations of GmFAD3A and GmFAD3C. For all lines except the aaCC representative (n = 5), 10 independent F3 seeds were analyzed for linolenic acid. The bars represent the average of the F3 seeds derived from a single F2 plant. Error bars represent one standard deviation of the mean.
