TL;DR: Increased seed oil content, increased DGAT activity, and reduced substrate:product ratio are demonstrated, as well as reduced flux control by complex lipid assembly, as determined by TDCA in Brassica napus (canola) lines which overexpress the gene encoding type-1 DGAT.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metabolic control analysis of developing oilseed rape (Brassica napus cv Westar) embryos shows that lipid assembly exerts significant control over oil accumulation
Mingguo Tang,Irina A. Guschina,Paul O'Hara,Antoni R. Slabas,Patti A. Quant,Tony Fawcett,John L. Harwood +6 more
TL;DR: Both single- and double-manipulation top-down control analysis were applied to examine the control of lipid accumulation in developing oilseed rape (Brassica napus) embryos and showed that Block B reactions were more important under the authors' conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regulation and enhancement of lipid accumulation in oil crops: The use of metabolic control analysis for informed genetic manipulation
John L. Harwood,Umi S. Ramli,Mingguo Tang,Patti A. Quant,Randall J. Weselake,Tony Fawcett,Irina A. Guschina +6 more
TL;DR: Metabolic control analysis is used to provide information about major oil crops such as oilseed rape, oil palm, olive, and soybean and this knowledge has been used to inform genetic manipulation for crop improvement.
Journal ArticleDOI
Informed metabolic engineering of oil crops using control analysis
TL;DR: This review describes experiments using metabolic control analysis on important crops – oil palm, oilseed rape, olive and soybean to provide information for future informed genetic manipulations.
