Soybean is a valuable protein and oilseed crop ranked among the most significant of the major crops. Field experiments were carried out in 2016–2019 in South-East Poland. The influence of soybean cultivars (Aldana, Annushka), nitrogen fertilizer (0, 30, 60 kg∙ha−1 N) and inoculation with B. japonicum (control, HiStick® Soy, Nitragina) on the content of fatty acids (FA) in soybean seeds was investigated in a three-factorial experiment. This study confirms the genetic determinants of fatty acid composition in soybean seeds and their differential accumulation levels for C16:0, C16:1, C18:1n9, C18:2, C18:3, and C20:0 as well saturated (SFA), monounsaturated (MUFA), and polyunsaturated (PUFA) fatty acids. Increasing the rate from 30 to 60 kg ha−1 N did not produce the expected changes, suggesting the use of only a “starter” rate of 30 kg ha−1 N. Inoculation of soybean seeds with a strain of Bradyrhizobium japonicum (HiStick® Soy, BASF, Littlehampton, UK and Nitragina, Institute of Soil Science and Plant Cultivation–State Research Institute, Puławy, Poland) is recommended as it will cause a decrease in SFA and C16:0 acid levels. This is considered nutritionally beneficial as its contribution to total fatty acids determines the hypercholesterolemic index, and it is the third most accumulated fatty acid in soybean seeds. The interaction of cultivars and inoculation formulation on fatty acid content of soybean seeds was demonstrated. An increase in the value of C16:0 content resulted in a decrease in the accumulation of C18:1, C18:2, and C18:3 acids. The content of each decreased by almost one unit for every 1% increase in C16:0 content. The dominant effect of weather conditions on the FA profile and C18:2n6/C18:3n3 ratio was demonstrated. This suggests a need for further evaluation of the genetic progress of soybean cultivars with respect to fatty acid composition and content under varying habitat conditions.

In terms of biological value and quality, soy fat meets the standard of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and the World Health Organization. The aim of the study was to identify agro-climatic factors that affect the fatty acid composition of soybean seeds of the northern ecotype and to determine the variety that most corresponds to the group of food fat quality. Field experiments were conducted in 2017–2019 in the Ryazan region at the experimental base of the Institute of Seed Production and Agricultural Technologies-a branch of the FGBNU FNAC VIM. Varieties and forms of soybeans of the northern ecotype – Light, Mageva, Okskaya and M-52-were selected as objects of research. The results of the study. The average yield of soybean seeds for three years of research was from 1.81 to 2.57 t / ha for varieties, the fat content in the seeds was 19.4–21.5 %, the total harvest was 357–548 kg/ha. The fat of soybean seeds of varieties and forms of the northern ecotype contained 11.36–11.43 % palmitic acid and significantly less oleic acid-7.43–11.27 %. While in traditional varieties, the values of these indicators were 9.75 % and 24.80 %, respectively. In conditions of sufficient moisture (2017), the predominance of saturated palmitic acid in the fatty acid composition of seeds was observed, and in dry years (2018–2019) – unsaturated fatty acids – oleic, linoleic and linolenic, their sum was 73 % in dry years, with sufficient moisture – 67 %. Better illumination of the upper tiers of plants contributed to the activation of the synthesis of unsaturated fatty acids. It was found that, according to the fatty acid composition, the Light soy variety is more close to the varieties of soy for food purposes.

McNaughton, A. J. M., Shelp, B. J. and Rajcan, I. 2015. Impact of temperature on the expression of Kennedy Pathway genes in developing soybean seeds. Can. J. Plant Sci. 95: 87–101. The main oil storage molecule, triacylglycerol (TAG), can be created by the Kennedy Pathway. The objective of this study was to determine the impact of growing temperature on the expression of the Kennedy Pathway genes, glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase (G3PAT), lysophosphatidic acid acyltransferase (LPAAT), and diacylglycerol acyltransferase 1 (DGAT1), in developing seed of four soybean genotypes with altered fatty acid composition using quantitative polymerase chain reaction. The three growing temperatures were: high, 30°C day/25°C night; normal, 25°C day/20°C night; and low, 20°C day/15°C night. The expression of G3PAT steadily declined following 15 d after flowering (DAF), suggesting that it is likely to be more highly expressed earlier in development than was measured in the study. As a result, the expression of G3PAT did not correspond to fatty acid accumulation. LPAAT expression coincided with accumulation of oleic acid (18:1∆9) and linolenic acid (18:3∆9,12,15) in a temperature-dependent manner. The expression of DGAT1 corresponded to accumulation of linoleic acid (18:2∆9,12), which varied among the soybean genotypes, indicating a genotypic effect on the expression of DGAT1. This study suggests that the expression of the acyltransferase enzymes of the Kennedy Pathway influences the fatty acid composition in seed of four altered fatty acid soybean genotypes.

SummaryPlatelet aggregation and its relation to fatty acid composition of platelets, plasma and adipose tissue was determined in 196 randomly selected, free-living, 40-49-year-old men in two regions of Finland (east and southwest) with a nearly twofold difference in the IHD rate.There were no significant east-southwest differences in platelet aggregation induced with ADP, thrombin or epinephrine. ADP-induced platelet secondary aggregation showed significant negative associations with all C20-C22 ω3-fatty acids in platelets (r = -0.26 - -0.40) and with the platelet 20: 5ω3/20: 4ω 6 and ω3/ ω6 ratios, but significant positive correlations with the contents of 18:2 in adipose tissue (r = 0.20) and plasma triglycerides (TG) (r = 0.29). Epinephrine-induced aggregation correlated negatively with 20: 5ω 3 in plasma cholesteryl esters (CE) (r = -0.23) and TG (r = -0.29), and positively with the total percentage of saturated fatty acids in platelets (r = 0.33), but had no significant correlations with any of the ω6-fatty acids. Thrombin-induced aggregation correlated negatively with the ω3/6ω ratio in adipose tissue (r = -0.25) and the 20: 3ω6/20: 4ω 6 ratio in plasma CE (r = -0.27) and free fatty acids (FFA) (r = -0.23), and positively with adipose tissue 18:2 (r = 0.23) and 20:4ω6 (r = 0.22) in plasma phospholipids (PL).The percentages of prostanoid precursors in platelet lipids, i. e. 20: 3ω 6, 20: 4ω 6 and 20 :5ω 3, correlated best with the same fatty acids in plasma CE (r = 0.32 - 0.77) and PL (r = 0.28 - 0.74). Platelet 20: 5ω 3 had highly significant negative correlations with the percentage of 18:2 in adipose tissue and all plasma lipid fractions (r = -0.35 - -0.44).These results suggest that, among a free-living population, relatively small changes in the fatty acid composition of plasma and platelets may be reflected in significant differences in platelet aggregation, and that an increase in linoleate-rich vegetable fat in the diet may not affect platelet function favourably unless it is accompanied by an adequate supply of ω3 fatty acids.
