Strong co-suppression impedes an increase in polyunsaturated fatty acids in seeds overexpressing FAD2

Fatty acid desaturase2 (FAD2) catalyses the conversion of oleic acid to linoleic acid and is the main determinant of the levels of essential poly-unsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in seed oils. The very limited number of successful examples of overexpression of FAD2 over the last two decades and a sho...
