摘要:
The present invention relates to nucleic acids derived from Sphaeroforma arctica. The invention also relates to the individual coding sequences and to proteins encoded by these sequences in combination with other sequences as well as to a process for converting oleic acid to linoleic acid to linoleic acid and the production of arachidonic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid and/or docosahexaenoic acid in a plant.
摘要:
The invention provides isolated nucleic acid molecules which encode novel fatty acid desaturase family members. The invention also provides recombinant expression vectors containing desaturase nucleic acid molecules, host cells into which the expression vectors have been introduced, and methods for large-scale production of long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFAs), e.g., DHA.
摘要:
The invention provides isolated nucleic acid molecules which encode novel fatty acid hydroxylases. The invention also provides recombinant expression vectors including hydroxylase nucleic acid molecules, host cells into which the expression vectors have been introduced, and methods for the production of hydroxyl fatty acids such as 12-hydroxyoctadec-9-enoic acid (ricinoleic acid).
摘要:
The present invention relates to the isolation of a second omega-3 fatty acid desaturase (FAD3) gene in flax (Linum usitatissimum) and its promoter region, as well as the identification of FAD3 mutant alleles, and the development of markers for wild type and mutated alleles. The FAD3 genes encode the enzymes which control omega-3 fatty acid desaturation and, thus, the levels of linolenic acid (18:3(n-3)). Accordingly, the molecules of the present invention can be utilized, for example, to develop markers for the mutations in flax FAD3 genes and for seed-specific modification of fatty acid and protein compositions in plant seeds.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to promoters of flax conlinin and ω-3 desaturase genes. The promoters guide high levels of the expression exclusively in flax developing seeds. This specific expression pattern concomitant with the biosynthesis of storage lipids and proteins make these promoters particularly useful for seed-specific modification of fatty acid and protein compositions in plant seeds.
