Antisense expression of a omega-3 fatty acid desaturase gene in tobacco plants enhances susceptibility against pathogens.

2004-03-01

Abstract excerpt

Membrane lipids in higher plants contain a high proportion of trienoic fatty acids. ω-3 Fatty acid desaturases act on membrane lipids to catalyze the formation of trienoic acids. We isolated a wound-inducible Arabidopsis plastid ω-3 fatty acid desaturase (fad7) gene, and generated transgenic tobacco plants constitutively expressing the antisense fad7 RNA. Selected transgenic lines showed significant re...
