RESUMO
High oleate peanuts have two marketable benefits, health benefits to consumers and extended shelf life of peanut products. Two mutant alleles present on linkage group a09 (ahFAD2A) and b09 (ahFAD2B) control composition of three major fatty acids, oleic, linoleic and palmitic acids which together determine peanut oil quality. In conventional breeding, selection for fatty acid composition is delayed to advanced generations. However by using DNA markers, breeders can reject large number of plants in early generations and therefore can optimize time and resources. Here, two approaches of molecular breeding namely marker-assisted backcrossing (MABC) and marker-assisted selection (MAS) were employed to transfer two FAD2 mutant alleles from SunOleic 95R into the genetic background of ICGV 06110, ICGV 06142 and ICGV 06420. In summary, 82 MABC and 387 MAS derived introgression lines (ILs) were developed using DNA markers with elevated oleic acid varying from 62 to 83%. Oleic acid increased by 0.5-1.1 folds, with concomitant reduction of linoleic acid by 0.4-1.0 folds and palmitic acid by 0.1-0.6 folds among ILs compared to recurrent parents. Finally, high oleate ILs, 27 with high oil (53-58%), and 28 ILs with low oil content (42-50%) were selected that may be released for cultivation upon further evaluation.

Montanide ISA 720 is an experimental adjuvant, formulated as water-in-oil emulsions, that induces high antibody titers in several animal species. It has been used in human vaccine trials with malaria and HIV vaccines. The heightened response is likely due, in part, to the formation of a depot at the injection site. However, post-formulation modifications were seen with seven proteins tested during storage of ISA 720 formulations at 37 degrees C for 1 week and two proteins stored longer at 4 degrees C. Potency studies in mice, in which the stored vaccines were diluted into placebo emulsions for appropriate dosing, indicated that this instability could lead to loss of immunogenicity in the post-injection depot, limiting the allowable storage time of preformed vaccines. We describe point-of-injection formulation for ISA 720 vaccines that meets the requirement for in vitro stability. For preformed vaccines, addition of glycine or glycylglycine prevented antigen modification on storage at 37 degrees C, providing a potential way of stabilizing antigen/ISA 720 formulations for in vitro storage and the post-injection depot.
