Description
A stacked oilseed rape was produced by crossing plsC expressing plants (transformed with pNAT4) and ClFatB4 expressing plants (transformed with pNBM99-ClFatB4 or pNBM99-EnClFatB4).

As a result of the genetic modification the seeds contain up to 10% myristic acid (C14:0), which is not normally present in rapeseed oil, and increased levels of palmitic acid (C16:0).
Recipient Organism or Parental Organisms
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.

Notes regarding the genetic elements introduced or modified in this LMO
DNA insert from vector pNAT4
The plsC gene from Escherichia coli encodes a lysophosphatidic acid acyltransferase (LPAAT) which catalyses the linkage of medium-chain fatty acids to the sn-2 position of lysophosphatidic acid. In the genetically modified oilseed rape plants transformed with pNAT4, LPAAT is expressed under the control of a seed specific promoter.

DNA insert from vector pNBM99-ClFatB4 and pNBM99-EnClFatB4
Oilseed rape plants  which were transformed with either of pNBM99-ClFatB4 or pNBM99-EnClFatB4 express the acyl-[ACP] thioesterase gene (ClFatB4) from Cuphea lanceolata under the control of its own seed specific promoter. Myristic- and palmitic-[ACP] are the substrates of this thioesterase.
