Fig. 3. Phenotype and genotype for F2 plants segregating for GmFAD3A and GmFAD3C mutations. Histogram representing the linolenic acid phenotype of F2 soybean seeds segregating for the GmFAD3A and GmFAD3C mutations from a cross between a wild-type line (Williams 82, AACC) and a low linlolenic acid line (2721, aacc). Individual F2 seeds were chipped for fatty acid analysis, and the remainder of the seed was germinated for genotype analysis. The average phenotypes of the parent lines (n = 10) are represented in black or white bars, while the averages of all F2 progeny with the indicated genotypes are represented with gray bars. Error bars represent one standard deviation of the mean. The numbers below the genotypes represent the number of individual seeds that contributed to each phenotype average.
