Expression of delta6, delta5 desaturase and GLELO elongase genes from Mortierella alpina for production of arachidonic acid in soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] seeds.
2006-02-01
Abstract excerpt
We report the production of arachidonic acid (ARA) in seeds of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] by seed-specific expression of the genes encoding Δ6 desaturase, fatty acid elongase, and Δ5 desaturase from a filamentous fungus, Mortierella alpina 1S-4, as well as the down-regulation of an endogenous gene of soybean, Δ15 desaturase. Several fatty acids, γ-linolenic acid (GLA), eicosa-8, 11-...
