Abstract excerpt
We have characterized a Brassica rapa mutant (WR586) that has low levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids (D.L. Auld et al., 1992, Crop Sci. 32, 657-662). The mutant lacked oleoyl-phosphatidylcholine desaturase (ODS) activity when assayed in 6-day-old seedlings. To further characterize the mutant, the leaf fatty acid composition and major galactolipids and phospholipids were characterized in mutant (WR586) and...
