Of the 172 varieties tested, the early varieties had, on average, a high oleic but a low linoleic and linolenic acid content, whilst the late varieties had a low oleic but a high linoleic and linolenic acid content. Varieties grown in northern districts had a lower oleic but a higher linoleic and linolenic acid content than those grown in southern districts. Estimated heritabilities were 95% for oleic, 95% for linoleic and 71% for linolenic acid content.
