Nervonic acid 24:1 Delta15 (cis-tetracos-15-enoic acid) is a very long-chain monounsaturated fatty acid and exists in nature as an elongation product of oleic acid. There is an increasing interest in production of high nervonic acid oils for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and industrial applications.
Protoplast fusions were performed between hypocotyl protoplasts of Brassica napus and mesophyll protoplasts of Thlaspi perfoliatum. The two species are members of the Lepidieae and Brassiceae tribes, respectively, in the family of Brassicaceae. Seeds of T. perfoliatum are rich in the fatty acid
Pseudomonas aeruginosa produced medium chain length poly(3-hydroxyalkanoates) (mcl-PHAs) when grown on substrates containing very long chain fatty acids (VLCFA, C>20). Looking for low cost carbon sources, we tested Brassica carinata oil (erucic acid content 35-48%) as an intact triglyceride
Brassica juncea plants transformed with the Arabidopsis ADS1 gene, which encodes a plant homologue of the mammalian and yeast acyl-CoA Delta9 desaturases and the cyanobateria acyl-lipid Delta9 desaturase, were found to have a statistically significant decrease in the level of saturated fatty acids
