Stokes aster (Stokesia laevis) is native to the southern and southeastern U.S. It displays a substantial amount of genetic diversity and has a high seed oil content (27-44%). The oil has a high content of epoxy fatty acids (63-79%), which are currently used in several industrial applications such as plastics, adhesives, varnishes, paints, and industrial coatings. These products are currently obtained either from chemically transforming soybean oil or from petroleum.
