A cDNA encoding a 1-acyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase from Limnanthes douglasii was introduced into oil seed rape (Brassica napus) under the control of a napin promoter. Seed triacylglycerols from transgenic plants were analysed by reversed-phase HPLC and trierucin was detected at a level
