Abstract:
One of the major goals of plant research is to improve crop yield, by for instance increasing seed oil or protein content. Besides this, extensive research is done to change seed fatty acid (FA) composition in order to make vegetable oils more suitable for specific purposes. To determine the effect of genetic changes on seed FA composition, oil, protein and sugar content it's important to use standardised protocols to compare results between different research groups. Here we describe standardised methods for the analysis of seed FA composition, oil, protein and sugar content.
