Research Abstract |
TILLING is one of the most attractive methods for screening novel mutant lines with reverse genetics approach in recent years.Inthis study aimed at improving fatty acid composition of soybean oil by metabolic engineering, I have tried to isolate novel mutant lines and to combine their mutant alleles. As a result, I have isolated several mutant lines corresponding to acyl-ACP thioesterase, stearoyl-ACP desaturase and microsomal omega-3 fatty acid desaturase genes, and successfully developed novel fatty acid mutant lines with more than 80% oleic acid or less than 1.5% linolenic acid in seed oil.
