Xu, Yang, Caldo, Kristian Mark P., Singer, Stacy D., Mietkiewska, Elzbieta, Greer, Michael S., Tian, Bo, Dyer, John M., Smith, Mark, Zhou, Xue-Rong, Qiu, Xiao, Weselake, Randall J., Chen, Guanqun
Producing hydroxy fatty acids (HFAs) in transgenic crops represents a promising strategy to meet our demands for specialized plant oils with industrial applications. The expression of Ricinus communis (castor) OLEATE 12-HYDROXYLASE (RcFAH12) in Arabidopsis has resulted in only...
