Abstract

Aim. The influence of corn shrunken-1 (sh1) mutation on the content of palmitate in corn oil establishing and genetic analysis of this trait. Methods. The effects of the sh1 mutation on the content of palmitate were determined by comparing the inbreds – carriers of this mutation with inbreds of the common type, as well as in the top-crosses of common type inbreds with the mutant inbreds. The genetic components of the variance in terms of the content of palmitate were analyzed in the diallel crosses of mutant inbreds according to the second Griffing method. The determination of oil fatty acid composition was carried out by the Peisker gas chromatographic method. Results. It has been established that the corn inbreds – carriers of sh1 mutation exceed the common type inbreds by an average of 29.2 % in terms of palmitate content. The level of the trait in the inbreds based on the sh1 mutation was notable as having the quantitative variability and varied within 12.2-15.6 %. The content of palmitate in the carriers of sh1 mutation was inherited as incomplete dominance with a predominant contribution of additive effects to the variance. A higher level of the trait was controlled by recessive alleles of polygenes. Conclusions. The obtained results suggests the possibility of spatial linkage of the sh1 mutant gene with palmitate-coding locus, the effect of which is modified by the polygenic complex. It has been confirmed, that the carriers of sh1 mutation expands the genetic diversity of corn in terms of palmitate content.
