Linseed with altered fatty acids and oil composition
EN
Multiple events
No
Genes involved in fatty acid biosynthesis have been introduced into linseed in order to alter the fatty acid composition towards very long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids. The neomycin phosphotransferase II gene is used as selectable marker gene.

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.
