Fatty acid composition and desaturase gene expression in flax (Linum usitatissimum L.).

Journal of applied genetics - 1 Nov 2014

Thambugala Dinushika, Cloutier Sylvie

Abstract excerpt

Little is known about the relationship between expression levels of fatty acid desaturase genes during seed development and fatty acid (FA) composition in flax. In the present study, we looked at promoter structural variations of six FA desaturase genes and their relative expression throughout seed development. Computational analysis of the nucleotide sequences of the sad1, sad2, fad2a, fad2b, fad3a and fad3b...
