Manipulation of Seed Carbon Flow from Cellulose to Lipid and Protein Biosynthesis in Arabidopsis to Accelerate the Characterization of Protein-Related Genes in Canola
DownloadFall 2023
Canola (Brassica napus L.) is the major oilseed crop in Canada. After oil extraction, the protein-rich seed meal (around 40% protein) serves as a nutritious feedstock for animals and the protein fraction has potential for human consumption. However, excess fiber in the seed meal (about 33%) can...
