Oleate accumulation, induced by silencing of microsomal omega-6 desaturase, declines with leaf expansion in transgenic tobacco

All higher plants contain at least one microsomal omega-6 desaturase (FAD2), which inserts a double bond between the carbons 12 and 13 of monounsaturated oleic acid to generate polyunsaturated linoleic acid and controls most of the polyunsaturated lipid synthesis in plant cells. RNA interference can...
