Identification of a mutant fatty acid elongase allele from zero-percent erucic acid Sinapis alba
2001-10-01
Abstract excerpt
The fae1 gene codes for KCS (beta-keto-acyl-CoA synthase), the candidate enzyme for elongation of oleic acid to eicosenoic acid and erucic acid (C22:1) in various oilseed species. Degenerate primers for the fae1 gene were used to amplify and clone fae1 gene homologs in high and zero C22:1 Sinapis alba. Under stringent PCR conditions, a polymorphism was revealed between the two genotypes and was mapped as a fae1 ma...
