AAC A110, AAC A 120, 080793EM and 111078EM-7: generic B. carinata cultivars and breeding lines, respectively; VR10-183.8: fad2B null line derived from B. carinata 080793EM x B. juncea; VR13-156: double mutant line homozygous for fad2B and B. rapa FAE, BC2F3 derived from VR10-183.8 x R500; VR13-432: double mutant line homozygous for fad2B and B. rapa FAE, BC2F4 derived from selfing of VR13-156; VR17-089 and VR17-095: double mutant line homozygous for fad2B and B. rapa FAE, BC3F4 lines derived from VR13-156 x 111078EM-7
Total sat. Total saturated fatty acids include C12:0 (lauric), C14:0 (myristic), C16:0 (palmitic), C18:0 (stearic), C20:0 (arachidic), C22:0 (behenic) and C24:0 (lignoceric)
C18:1 = oleic acid, C18:2 = linoleic acid, C18:3 = linolenic acid, C20:1 = eicosenoic (gondoic) acid, C22:1 = erucic acid, C24:1 = nervonic acid
Fatty acids not listed include C16:1 (palmitoleic), C22:2 (docosadienoic), C22:3 (docosatrienoic), and trace amounts of other unidentified fatty acids
