Abstract

Genetic control of oil content and its fatty acids profile was studied in EC 68414 population of sunflower. A random sample of 32 males and 96 females was selected and mated in N.C. 1 design. Both additive and dominance components of variance were significant for stearic acid and oil content Low h~ was observed for these traits. The negative estimates of additive component of variance were observed for oleic acid, linoleic acid and palmictic acid content. Dominance component of variance was more important for all the quality characters.
