Genetic Engineering of Lesquerella With Increased Ricinoleic Acid Content in Seed Oil [PDF]
Plants, 2021 Seeds of castor (Ricinus communis) are enriched in oil with high levels of the industrially valuable fatty acid ricinoleic acid (18:1OH), but production of this plant is limited because of the cooccurrence of the ricin toxin in its seeds.

Increased Production of α-Linolenic Acid in Soybean Seeds by Overexpression of Lesquerella FAD3-1 [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 Soybean is a major crop that is used as a source of vegetable oil for human use. To develop transgenic soybean with high α-linolenic acid (ALA; 18:3) content, the FAD3-1 gene isolated from lesquerella (Physaria fendleri) was used to construct vectors ...
