title: Inheritance of Linoleic and Oleic Acids in Maize.
abstract: Gas-liquid chromatographic analysis of methyl esters of fatty acids of individual maize seeds of parental and segregating populations suggests that desaturation at the Delta(12-13) position in oleic acid is under simple Mendelian control. High linoleic acid content is recessive to low.
