Oilseed rape modified for an altered fatty acid metabolism in the seeds
EN
independent transgenic lines transformed with pALM2
No
In the genetically modified oilseed rape plants lysophosphatidic acid acyltransferase from Limnanthes douglasii, which catalyses the linkage of erucic acid to the sn-2 position of lysophosphatidic acid, is expressed specifically in the seeds. As a result of the modification the production of trierucin is expected in the seeds, therefore increasing their erucic acid content.

Simultaneously, the oilseed rape plants are also transformed with an antisense construct of the native lysophosphatidic acid acyltransferase gene leading to a reduction in the expression of the endogenous gene, thereby reducing the linkage of unspecific fatty acids to the sn-2 position of lysophosphatidic acid.

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.
