Abstract excerpt
Low erucic acid rapeseed (LEAR) is characterised by a near absence of very long chain fatty acids in the seed oil which has been correlated with a lack of acyl-CoA elongation activity. Here we show that the absence of acyl-CoA and ATP-dependent elongation activities in microsomes isolated from LEAR embryos is associated with an absence of beta-ketoacyl-CoA synthase activity encoded by the Bn-fatty acid elongation...
