“…Previous studies demonstrate that HDT stress during pod filling results in reduced oil concentration and increased protein concentration in oilseed crops (Aksouh-Harradj et al, 2006;Singer, Zou, & Weselake, 2016;Zhu et al, 2012 [canola]), (Dombos & Mullen, 1992;Gibson & Mullen, 1996 [soybean]). Similarly, a negative correlation between monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids has been observed with HDT stress exposure in a number of oilseed crops, including canola (Aksouh-Harradj et al, 2006;Baux et al, 2013;Deng & Scarth, 1998;Elferjani & Soolanayakanahally, 2018), sunflower (Nagao & Yamazaki, 1984;Flagella, Rotunno, Tarantino, Di Caterina, & De Caro, 2002) and soybean (Dornbos & Mullen, 1992;Gibson & Mullen, 1996). In summary, day-time heat stress is shown to alter the oil and protein composition and reduce beneficial monoand polyunsaturated fatty acids, while the impact of HNT on these fatty acids is not known either in canola or in other Brassica species.…”
