“…Increased stearic acid in soybean seed oil has been achieved primarily through decreasing the activity of stearoyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] 9-desaturase (SACPD) enzymes. The SACPD-C gene on chromosome 14 (Glyma.14g121400 in Wm82.a2.v1) was shown to be key for controlling stearic acid accumulation in the seed oil, but mutations have also been identified in other SACPD genes (Boersma et al, 2012;Carrero-Colón, Abshire, Sweeney, Gaskin, & Hudson, 2014;Gillman, Stacey, Cui, Berg, & Stacey, 2014;Ruddle, Whetten, Cardinal, Upchurch, & Miranda, 2013;Zhang et al, 2008). One study reported the fatty acid phenotype for seven F 2 seeds with combinations of mutant alleles of FAD2-1A, FAD2-1B, and SACPD-C in which the stearic acid levels were between 10 and 13% of the oil (Ruddle, Whetten, Cardinal, Upchurch, & Miranda, 2014).…”
