Abstract excerpt
LFAH12, an oleate 12-hydroxylase gene from Lesquerella fendleri (L.) was isolated on the basis of nucleotide sequence similarity to an oleate hydroxylase gene from Ricinus communis (L.). Transgenic Arabidopsis plants containing the Lesquerella gene under transcriptional control of the cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter accumulated ricinoleic, lesquerolic and densipolic acids in seeds, but not in leaves or...
