KasII-Hairpin-Antisense

Gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer (GCMS) analysis fatty acid single seed of KasII-Hairpin Antisense seed

Suppression of kasII enzyme activity by KasII Hairpin Antisense due to reducing 18:0, 18:1 (delta 9), 18:2 and 18:3 fatty acid (diagram at very top) and result analysis fatty acid by GCMS of transgenic (bottom) and control (top) seeds showed that an accumulation of 16:0 Fatty acid which due to enhance a little bit of 16:1 delta 9 and 18:1 delta11 fatty acids (Source: unpublished)
