Abstract
The invention relates to plant cells comprising a recombinant nucleic acid coding for a product which induces or stimulates the synthesis of branched fatty acids in said cells. It also relates to a production process for branched fatty acids using these plant cells or plants containing it.
Claims29
Production process for branched fatty acids, characterized in that said branched fatty acids are produced from at least one plant cell or from one plant material or from a plant comprising at least one plant cell, said plant cell comprising in its genome a recombinant nucleic acid coding for a product which induces or stimulates the synthesis of branched fatty acid(s).
Recombinant nucleic acid characterized in that it comprises
- a nucleic acid coding for a product which induces or stimulates the synthesis of branched fatty acid(s),
- a promoter regulating the expression of said nucleic acid and capable of causing the localized expression of this nucleic acid in certain plant tissues or certain plant parts, and,
- a 3′ transcription termination region.
Recombinant nucleic acid comprising:
- a nucleic acid coding for a methyl transferase capable of catalyzing the transfer of a methyl group to an aliphatic chain of an unsaturated fatty acid,
- a functional promoter in the plant cells regulating the expression of said nucleic acid, and
- a 3′ transcription termination region.
Recombinant nucleic acid comprising:
- a nucleic acid coding for an enzyme which forces a plant cell to use a substrate comprising more than 3 carbon atoms as substrate for the synthesis of the aliphatic chain, in particular for a malonyl CoA decarboxylase,
- a functional promoter in the plant cells regulating the expression of said nucleic acid, and
- a 3′ transcription termination region.
