Oilseed rape modified for an altered fatty acid metabolism in the seeds
EN
3 independent transgenic lines transformed with pNBM99-EnClFatB3
No
In the genetically modified plants the acyl-[ACP] thioesterase gene from Cuphea lanceolata is expressed under the control of its own seed-specific promoter. This enzyme catalyses the the formation of a thioester bond between the acyl carrier protein and the synthesized acyl chain in fatty acid biosynthesis.

As the result of the modification the fatty acid profile of the rape seeds will contain capric acid (C10:0), which is not normally present in rapeseed oil, as well as increased levels of palmitic acid (C16:0).

The term “Recipient organism” refers to an organism (either already modified or non-modified) that was subjected to genetic modification, whereas “Parental organisms” refers to those that were involved in cross breeding or cell fusion.
