Mutations in the soybean 3-ketoacyl-ACP synthase gene are correlated with high levels of seed palmitic acid
2012-10-01
Abstract excerpt
A complete understanding of the biosynthetic pathways involved in the formation of seed oils is an important step in the development of lines with useful oil profiles. Soybean oil has a number of industrial applications and is also a source of edible oils for human consumption. The elongation of palmitic acid to stearic acid by the 3-ketoacyl-ACP synthase II (KASII) enzyme represents a branch point in the pathway...
