Evening primrose (Oenothera biennis) Δ6 fatty acid desaturase gene family: cloning, characterization, and engineered GLA and SDA production in a staple oil crop

2017-06-01

Abstract excerpt

γ-Linolenic acid (GLA), stearidonic acid (SDA), and other polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) play important roles in human health, and Δ6 fatty acid desaturase (D6D) is a key enzyme for PUFA biosynthesis. Oenothera biennis is a traditional GLA-producing oil crop. Here we report the cloning, characterization, and metabolic engineering of its D6D gene family. The intronless 1922-bp ObD6D1 and 1752-bp ObD6D2 both ha...
