  • Could a D6D gene lead to low-level production of SDA in cottonseed oil?
  • In this report, the heterologous expression of a D6D gene from E. plantagineum and an FAD3 gene from B. napus in cotton could lead to the production of two C18 trienoic acids, i.e. GLA and ALA, respectively, in their seeds and the combination of these could allow low-level production of SDA in cottonseed oil.
  • What is the oil composition of cotton seeds?
  • Cotton ( Gossypium hirsutum L.) seed oil composition was modified by transforming with an FAD3 gene from Brassica napus and a D6D gene from Echium plantagineum, resulting in approximately 30% ALA and 20% GLA, respectively. The total oil content in transgenic seeds remained unaltered relative to parental seeds.
  • Why are GLA- and Ala-rich cottonseed oils more volatile than conventional oils?
  • Under accelerated oxidation conditions, the GLA- and ALA-rich cottonseed oils generated substantially more volatiles than conventional cottonseed oil, which would limit their applications as food cooking oils as well as for the fortification of foods.
  • Do linolenic acid promoters elongate cottonseeds at low temperature?
  • Despite the use of a seed-specific promoter for transgene expression, low levels of GLA and increased levels of ALA were found in non-seed cotton tissues. At low temperature, the germinating cottonseeds containing the linolenic acid isomers elongated faster than the untransformed controls.
