Medicinal Plant Research 2025, Vol.15, No.3, 99-109 http://hortherbpublisher.com/index.php/mpr 102 Figure 1 Phenotypic characteristics, oil content, and fatty acid dynamics of S. saponaria fruit at different developmental stages: (A) phenotypic characteristics of S. saponaria fruits; (B) changes in fresh weight of 100 fruits of S. saponaria; (C) changes in oil content in S. saponaria kernels; (D) the gas chromatography peak plot of S. saponaria kernel oil in 130 DAF; and (E) the fatty acid content of S. saponaria kernels. Note: ** means oil content with significant difference, *** means oil content with very significant difference, ns means oil content with insignificant differences. C18:1: oleic acid, C18:3: linolenic acid, C18:2: linoleic acid, C20:0: arachidic acid, C16:0: palmitic acid, C18:0: stearic acid (Adopted from Zhou et al., 2024) Adaptive phenotypes (like larger kernels and higher oil content), are more common in materials under specific environmental conditions - lower longitude and higher altitude often facilitate kernel development, and increase in oil content (Sun et al., 2018). Intraspecific variation usually exceeds interspecific variation, indicating that local adaptability plays an important role in shaping phenotypic diversity (Wang et al., 2020).
