Rapeseed 'f |^ and Crambe: Developing Useful Products From Oils That Are High in Erucic Acid
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The use of rapeseed oil dates back to antiquity. Ancient (2000 to 1500 B.C.) writing from Greece, Rome, India, and China refer specifically to oilseed rape, its medicinal value, and its use as by Joseph Roetheli, Office of Agricultural Materials, CSRS, USDA, Washington, DC; Kenneth Carlson, Research Chemist, National Center for Agricultural Utilization Research, ARS, USDA, Peoria, IL; John Gardner, Superintendent, Carrington Research and Extension Center, North Dakota State University, Carrington, ND; and Kenneth Schneeberger, Director of Advancement, College of Agriculture, University of Missouri, Columbia, MO

Bottlenecks in erucic acid accumulation in genetically engineered ultrahigh erucic acid Crambe abyssinica
Erucic acid is a valuable industrial fatty acid with many applications. The main producers of this acid are today high erucic rapeseed (Brassica napus) and mustard (Brassica juncea), which have 45%-50% of erucic acid in their seed oils. Crambe abyssinica is an alternative promising producer of this acid as it has 55%-60% of erucic acid in its oil. Through genetic modification (GM) of three gene...
متن کاملCan We “Cultivate” Erucic Acid in Southern Europe?
Over the last fifteen years, considerable progress has been made in the field of “green chemistry”, as regards both research aspects and market development. In particular, extraction of erucic acid (C22:1) from plants and its industrial applications have received increasing attention. At present, known species producing oils yielding large quantities of erucic acid belong, with few exceptions, ...
متن کاملLysophosphatidic acid acyltransferase from meadowfoam mediates insertion of erucic acid at the sn-2 position of triacylglycerol in transgenic rapeseed oil.
Lysophosphatidic acid acyltransferase acylates the sn-2 hydroxyl group of lysophosphatidic acid to form phosphatidic acid, a precursor to triacylglycerol. A cDNA encoding lysophosphatidic acid acyltransferase was isolated from developing seeds of meadowfoam (Limnanthes alba alba). The cDNA encodes a 281-amino acid protein with a molecular mass of 32 kD. The cDNA was expressed in developing seed...
متن کاملNylon - 1313 from Brassylic Acid
Multi-pound production of nylon-1313 demonstrates that there are no serious obstacles to commercial production of this long-chain polyamide. The synthesis of nylon-1313 is remarkably simple and straightforward when compared to the reactions required to produce nylon-11 and -12. In many ways nylon-1313 is comparable to these other nylons, but it is lower melting, slightly less dense, and more hy...
متن کاملA jojoba beta-Ketoacyl-CoA synthase cDNA complements the canola fatty acid elongation mutation in transgenic plants.
beta-Ketoacyl-coenzyme A (CoA) synthase (KCS) catalyzes the condensation of malonyl-CoA with long-chain acyl-CoA. This reaction is the initial step of the microsomal fatty acyl-CoA elongation pathway responsible for formation of very long chain fatty acids (VLCFAs, or fatty acids with chain lengths > 18 carbons). Manipulation of this pathway is significant for agriculture, because it is the bas...
