Aim. Evaluation of donors’ properties of corn inbreds - carriers of endospermic mutations su1 and su2 on the oleates content. Methods. A series of hybrids obtained in top- crosses of 10 inbreds of the common type with four testers – low-oleic and high-oleic inbreds of the common type and inbreds – carriers of the su1 and su2 mutations were analyzed. Oleates’s content was determined by the gas chromatographic method. Results. The highest effects of the general combining ability were shown by the inbreds obtained from high-oil synthetics and the inbreds - carriers the su1 and su2 mutations. Hybrids of low-oleic inbreds with the sources of su1 and su2 mutations had an increased content of oleates in comparison with maternal forms, and hybrids of high-oleic inbreds with the sources of these mutations inherited the oleates content in an intermediate type. In F2 hybrids from crosses of inbreds of the common type with the inbreds - carriers of the su1 and su2 mutations, transgressions were observed. Conclusions. The increased content of oleates in corn inbreds inbreds and hybrids is most likely controlled by oleate - coding loci of chromosome 4 and 6 linked to mutant genes su1 and su2. The carriers of these genes can be used as sources of increased oleate content in the corn breeding for oil quality. Key words: Zea mays L., endospermic mutants, oleates content, top-crosses

Traditional edible oils have high polyenoic acid contents, mainly linoleic acid, sometimes with a smaller amount of linolenic acid. Consequently, they are unstable against oxidation, especially under deep frying conditions. Novel high-oleic vegetable oils have been developed which contain low amounts of polyenoic fatty acids. Their relative resistance against oxidation is lower at deep frying temperatures in comparison with storage conditions, however, high-oleic oils were found advantageous for deep frying. High-oleic oils are more stable than low-linolenic oils. High-oleic sunflower, safflower or peanut oils have the best prospects for large-scale applications. The stability can be improved by the addition of antioxidants such as tocopherols.

Mutagens [e.g. EMS (ethyl methane sulphonate)] are sometimes used to generate variability in oil crops when variability is lacking in natural populations, or when strong interspecific crossing barriers prevent hybridization with relatives. It is imperative to conduct genetic studies on beneficial mutants before they can be effectively used in a breeding program. This study was conducted to study the inheritance, and characterize two "apparent" low linolenic acid EMS-induced McGregor flax mutants (E1929 and E1536) that appeared to be quite different from E1747, a linolenic acid deficient McGregor flax mutant which has been extensively studied. Diallele crosses involving 1) E1929, E1536, and McGregor, and 2) E1929, E1536, and E1747 were made. Gas chromatography analyses of fatty acids from seed oil of F1 and F2 populations indicated that E1929 resulted from a reduction in Δ15 desaturase activity, and that the control of the trait is by a single recessive gene. The E1929 gene appears to be allelic to one of the two genes possessed by E1747. E1929 was characterized as a "moderately low linolenic-high oleic acid mutant". E1536 could not be characterized with the available data. Key words: flax, fatty acids, linolenic, Linum
