Abstract

Fatty acid composition of soybean, (Glycine max Merr.) seed oil from crops treated with ccc, B-9 and TIBA was measured. Various growth regulators had no effect on the oil content of soyabeans, but cycocel at 500, 1000 and 2500 ppm and B-9 at 1000 ppm increased the concentration of Oleic acid and decreased that of Linolenic acid significantly.
