Transgenic production of arachidonic acid in oilseeds
journal contribution
posted on 2023-05-17, 13:18 authored by Petrie, JR, Shrestha, P, Belide, S, Mansour, MP, Liu, Q, Horne, J, Nichols, PD, Singh, SPWe describe a transgenic microalgal Delta 9-elongase pathway transformed in both Brassica napus and Arabidopsis thaliana seed resulting in the production of arachidonic acid (ARA). This pathway is noteworthy for both the production of ARA in seed tissue and the low levels of intermediate C20 fatty acids that accumulate. We also demonstrate that the arachidonic acid is naturally enriched at the sn2 position in triacylglycerol. This is the first report of ARA production by the Delta 9-elongase pathway in an oilseed.
