RECOMBINANT CELLS AND PLANTS FOR SYNTHESIS OF VERY LONG CHAINS FATTY ACID (VLCFA)

摘要

The present invention is relative to a method for the production of Very-Long-Chain Fatty Acids (VLCFA) into a plant cell, comprising culturing a recombinant plant cell in an appropriate medium, wherein said plant cell is transformed with an heterologous gene encoding for an hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydratase. The invention is also relative to a method for producing vegetable oil comprising high levels of VLCFA.
