Increased expression of fatty acid and ABC transporters enhances seed oil production in camelina

Abstract Background Lipid transporters play an essential role in lipid delivery and distribution, but their influence on seed oil production oilseed crops is not well studied. Results Here, we examined the effect of two transporters, FAX1 ( fatty acid export1 ) ABCA9 ATP-binding cassette transporter subfamily A9 metabolism plant Camelina sativa . Overexpression (OE) increased weight size, with -OEs increasing length width, respectively, whereas / both. FAX1- OE ABCA9- displayed additive effects content yield. Also, affected membrane composition developing pods, especially phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol. The expression some genes involved synthesis, such as DGAT2 , PDAT1 LEC1 was seeds - and/or -OEs. Conclusion These results indicate that can potentially be applied to improving camelina production.
