Abstract

AbstractThe accumulation of lipid in embryos of lupin was found to be most rapid between 30 and 40 days after anthesis, coinciding with the stage of maximal dry weight increase of the developing seed. The percentage composition of oleic acid increased and that of linoleic acid decreased as the seed matured. Factors which cause premature cessation of embryo development are likely to affect adversely the oleate: linoleate ratio in the seed as well as the percentage oil content.
