Relative fatty acid profiles of F₂ and F₃ hybrid seeds. (A) Major fatty acid profile of individual seeds of nine F₃ populations and controls was analysed by GC–MS. For each population, two or three seeds were analysed. Each bar represents a single seed. (B) Mean values (± s.e.m.) obtained with a greater number of individual seeds. F₁ G×C = F₂ seeds produced by the cross C. microcarpa × C. sativa. For all samples n = 9, except F₁ G×C (n = 4) and F₃-18 (n = 3).
