  • Increasing the content of long chain fatty acids in seed oil
    Patent number: 11168331
    Abstract: Provided are plants that express, or overexpress, a pPLAIII? protein. Constitutive or seed-specific expression of pPLAIII? protein in Arabidopsis increases seed oil content, the amount of C20 and C22 fatty acids, and the amount of C56, C58, and C60 triacylglycerols, effectively resulting in significantly higher oil yield per plant. Use of pPLAIII? is therefore an effective biotechnological tool to significantly increase plant yield, including oil, and the amount of high value long chain fatty acids in agricultural and horticultural crops, especially oilseed crops.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 22, 2019
    Date of Patent: November 9, 2021

  • METHOD FOR INCREASING PLANT OIL PRODUCTION
    Publication number: 20130310585
    Abstract: The present invention provides a new and improved method for increasing plant seed oil content by seed-specific manipulation of PLD ? expression The inventive method is applicable to a variety of plant species, such as Arabidopsis, camelina, and soybean, and has the potential to increase seed oil content (both dietary and industrial) and vegetable oil production in crops.
