transformation of rapeseed (brassica napus l.) plants with sense and antisense constructs of the fatty acid elongase gene

چکیده
the biosynthetic pathways of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids consist of many steps controlled by various enzymes. one of the methods for improving oil quality is to change the fatty acid profile through genetic manipulation which requires isolation and characterization of the genes and other cis-acting elements, such as the promoter, involved in fatty acid biosynthesis. b-ketoacyl-coa synthase (kcs) that is the key enzyme in erucic acid biosynthesis. this enzyme is involved in producing eicosanoeic (c20:1) and erucic acids (c22:1) from c18 fatty acids, and is encoded by the fatty acid elongase (fae) gene. specific primers were used to amplify the fae gene and its promoter from genomic dna by using pcr technique. the putative gene and its promoter were cloned in sense and antisense orientation into the plant expression vector (pbi121). the sense and antisense constructs of the fae gene were transformed via agrobacterium-mediated transformation into low erucic acid rapeseed (lear such as pf) and high erucic acid cultivars (hear such as maplus). the transformed plants were screened on kanamycin-containing media and then analysed by pcr and southern blotting techniques. moreover, erucic acid content of the first generation of transgenic (t0) plants analysed with gas chromatography, showed significant changes in fatty acid composition of transgenic rapeseed plants containing sense and antisense constructs of the fae gene.

متن کاملAgrobacterium–mediated Transformation and Regeneration of Fertile Transgenic Plants of Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.)
A method for transformation of B.napus is presented in this study. The protocol is based on infection of cotyledonary petioles of 5-day-old and hypocotyl segments of 14-day-old seedlings with an Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain LBA 4404 carrying a disarmed binary vector pBI121. The T-DNA region of this binary vector contains the neomycin phosphotransferase II (NPTII) and glucuronidase (GUS) gen...
متن کاملInteraction of ZnO Nanoparticle with Humic acid on Germination of Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.)
Humic acid by binding to biotoxin, can vary their toxicity and mobility at different environments. Therefore, the interaction between nanoparticles and humic acid is considered environmental point of view specially. The objective of this study was investigation of ZnO nanoparticle toxicity on rapeseed at germination growing stage, and also study of the nanoparticle toxicity reduction by humic a...
متن کاملFatty acid breakdown in developing embryos of Brassica napus L.
Developing Brassica napus embryos are primarily concerned with the accumulation of storage products, namely oil, starch and protein. The presence of fatty acid catabolic pathways in the background of this biosynthetic activity was investigated. Enzymes involved in the process of lipid mobilization, such as malate synthase and isocitrate lyase, are detectable towards the late stages of embryo de...
متن کاملTransformation And Light Inducible Expression of cry1Ab Gene in Oilseed Rape (Brassica napus L.)
Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) is the third most important oil crop in global productions. One of the major limiting factors for oilseed rape production is lepidopteran pests of the Brassicaceae family. Transgenic plants expressing Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) genes are powerful tools in the integrated pest management of crop plants. In the present study, we used a synthetic Bt insecticidal crysta...
متن کاملAllelic Variation of BnaC.TT2.a and Its Association with Seed Coat Color and Fatty Acids in Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.)
Efficient molecular markers for the selection of rapeseed genetic materials with high seed oil content and ideal fatty acid (FA) composition are preferred by rapeseed breeders. Recently, we reported the molecular mechanism of TRANSPARENT TESTA 2 (TT2) in inhibiting seed FA biosynthesis in Arabidopsis. However, evidence showing the association of rapeseed TT2 homologs and seed FA production are ...
