The fatty acid composition of maize oilis important in determining nutritional quality and possible uses of oil in industrial applications. Inheritance of oleic and linoleic acids were studied in three inbred lines of maize. Results from single kernel oil analysis of the parents, F1,F2,BC1 and BC2 generations indicated by one gene locus with small number of alleles with condominant interaction. This one gene hypotesis is confirmed by high heritability values, for both acids. Oleic and linoleic and acids showed a strong inverse correlation. No maternal effect on oleic and linoleic acids were found.
