Chemical composition of seeds of some species of the genusGossypium

Abstract: SUMMARYChemical analyses were carried out on the three main commercial varieties in the Sudan and some wild species of Gossypium. A genome-specific pattern was not found for either the oil content, fatty acids, amino acids or seed index. G. sturtianum differed significantly from the other species in oil content with a substantial amount of unsaturated fatty acids and of the essential amino acids. A breeding programme has been started to incorporate such desirable characters into the commercial varieties.

“…The highest total free amino acid (44.00 mg g -1 ) was estimated from the seeds of the genotype BC-0125 and the lowest (27.10mg g -1 ) was obtained from the seeds of BC-0252 genotype. Such differences between the genotypes in free amino acid composition also reported by Khattab et al 38 in some cotton seeds species. Total free amino acid in stored cotton seed increased progressively over the storage and it was higher in seeds of cloth bag as compared to polythene bag under ambient condition (Figure 3).…”

“…Compared to previous studies [26], [27], the genetic information on amino acids in cottonseeds in the present study were more thorough. Phenylalanine and leucine contents were primarily controlled by genetic main effects, which were similar to the results by Cherry [7].…”
