Analysis of organ-specific gene expression in soybean
Organ specificity is an important criterion to be considered for the expression of foreign genes in plants. For crop improvement by genetic engineering it is critical to introduce genes in specific organs that can be expressed at an appropriate developmental stage. This study involved the analysis …

Interplay of DGAT1, PDAT1 and DGAT2 Enzymes in Plant Triacylglycerol Assembly
… fatty acid compositions. Industrially desirable seed oil composition can be obtained through genetic engineering by replacing the endogenous enzyme with one that has different substrate selectivity. In <em>Arabidopsis thaliana</em>, DGAT1 and another unrelated enzyme PDAT1 are essential for TAG …

Isolation and analysis of cotton genomic clones encompassing a fatty acid desaturase (FAD2) gene
… probe and a cotton FAD2 5¢ -flanking region gene-specific probe, respectively. A cotton FAD2 gene was found to be in two overlapping genomic clones by physical mapping and DNA sequencing. The cloned DNA fragments are identical in size to cotton FAD2 genomic DNA fragments shown by genomic blot …

The Role of Acyl Carrier Protein Isoforms in Determining Plant Lipid Content and Composition
… was to inhibit fatty acid biosynthesis in oilseeds through antisense ACP expression in order to gain a better understanding of how oilseeds regulate the partitioning of carbon between storage components. Four different sets of transgenic Arabidopsis plants were generated. In the first set of …

Caracterização dos genes que codificam os inibidores de protease Bowman-Birk (BBI) e transformação de nós cotiledonares para o silenciamento gênico de BBI em sementes de soja
Além de proteínas de reserva, as sementes de soja (Glycine max L. Merrill) acumulam inibidores de proteases, como os inibidores do tipo Bowman-Birk (BBI), que são considerados antinutricionais. A redução desses inibidores em sementes de soja poderia levar ao aumento da biodisponibilidade dos …
