Method for production of petroselinic acid and OMEGA12 hexadecanoic acid in transgenic plants
Patent
·
OSTI ID:87719
The present invention relates to a process for producing lipids containing the fatty acid, petroselinic acid, in plants. The production of petroselinic acid is accomplished by genetically transforming plants which do not normally accumulate petroselinic acid with a gene for a {omega}12 desaturase from another species which does normally accumulate petroselinic acid. 19 figs.
