✦ Synopsis


The erucoyl-CoA specific sn-1-acylglycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase (LPAAT) of Limnanthes douglasii was functionally expressed in developing seeds of differing high-erucic acid rapeseed genotypes, namely resynthesized lines and cultivars. Lipid analysis revealed that seed oil of transgenic plants in contrast to that of control plants contained trierucoylglycerol as well as a molecular species with two eru-coy1 groups and one eicosenoyl group. The proportion of trierucoylglycerol was distinctly higher in the seeds from transgenic resynthesized plants than in those from transgenic cultivars. In pooled seed oil fractions, up to 9% trierucoylglycerol (trierucin) was determined and the fatty acid composition at the sn-2 position was found to consist of more than 40% erucic acid. Since the pooled seeds were segregating for the presence of the L. douglasii gene, the analysis of single seeds gave even higher levels of up to 13% trierucin.

Biosynthese von Trierucoylglycerol in transgener Rapssaat

(Brassica napus L). Die erucoyl-CoA-spezifische sn-1-Acylglycerin-3-phosphat-Acyltransferase (LPAAT) aus Limnanthes douglasii wurde in den reifenden Samen verschiedener erucasaurereicher Rapssorten und Resyntheselinien funktional exprimiert. Wie Lipidanalysen zeigten, enthielt das Samenol transgener Pflanzen, im Unterschied zu den Kontrollen,Trierucin sowie eine molekulare Spezies mit zwei Erucasaure-und einem Eicosensaurerest. Im Vergleich der Sorten war bei den Resyntheselinien der Trierucinanteil in den Samen transgener Pflanzen deutlich hoher. In vereinigten Samenolfraktionen betrug der Trierucingehalt bis zu 9% und der Erucasauregehalt in der sn-2-Position mehr als 40%. Aufgrund der Segregation des L. douglasii-Gens konnten bei der Analyse einzelner Samen hohere Trierucingehalte von bis zu 13% gemessen werden.

A method for the determination of the triacylglycerol (TAG) composition of the seed oil of rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) by high-temperature gas chromatography (HT-GC) has been developed. For oil quality breeding in rapeseed such a method gains increasing importance since by means of molecular gene t
