The fatty acid compositions in F8 genotypes of a cross between Papaver somniferum x Papaver setigerum were studied. The oil content in both species was quite variable, ie 38.0% in P setigerum and 47.8% in P somniferum, while C18 fatty acids were quite comparable. The F8 genotypes had higher oil contents (>40%) and fatty acid concentrations than the parental species. Linoleic acid ranged between 68% (BRO 54) and 74.4% (BRO 59) and oleic acid varied between 13.6% (BRO 65) and 20.3% (BRO 54). High oleic desaturation ratio (ODR, >0.79) and C18 polyunsaturated fatty acid (>87%) with very low C18 : 3 (0.37 +/- 0.01) indicate the possibility of using poppy oil for the edible oil industry. Oleic (18 : 1) acid was not correlated with the other fatty acids, except for significant negative correlation with linoleic (C18 : 2) acid.
