Toward Increasing Erucic Acid Content in Oilseed Rape (Brassica napus L.) Through the Combination with Genes for High Oleic Acid
ABSTRACT: Erucic acid (22:1) is a valuable renewable resource that has several applications in the oleochemical industry. High 22:1 rapeseed (HEAR) contains around 50% 22:1.
