General Information

General Information Comment Organism
malfunction transgenic lines expressing an antisense CsFAD2 gene show a high increase in 18:1 content from 13-18% in wild type to 38-51% in transgenic seeds, and concomitantly significant decrease in 18:2 and 18:3 PUFAs. The levels of eicosenoic acid (20:1), another major monounsaturated fatty acid in camelina seed, are also slightly increased in transgenic seeds. These results clearly indicate that CsFAD2 genes encode microsomal oleate desaturases and contribute to PUFA synthesis in camelina seeds Camelina sativa
