The most important oilseed crops are Oil palm, Soybeans, Rapeseed and Sunflower,which together account for ≈ 79% of the total production of oils.Oils that are low in palmitic acid and rich in either oleic acid or stearic acid are novel oils. Selective breeding utilizing natural variants or induced mutations has been used to develop a range of improved oils. The vegetable oil is used for different applications as renewable sources of food used for frying, baking, processed foods,Fuel (Biodiesel),medicine and can be used as industrial raw material for preparation of soaps, detergents, paints, lubricants etc.
The recommended ratio of omega6/omega3 fatty acids in the human diet is approximately 2:1 to 6:1 (Simopoulos., 2000; Wijendran and Hayes., 2004) and the much higher ratio of omega 6 fatty acids in the typical Western diet (approximately 20:1) is thought to be a major contributor to cardiovascular disease (Simopoulos., 2000).
For metabolic engineering of oil quality improvement fatty acid composition and enzymes involved are very important so we can reduce expression of endogenous enzymes by adding new enzyme ,overexpressing existing enzyme and by using antisense RNA. It proved that genes for membrane-bound fatty acid-modifying enzymes not only from plants but also from bacterial,animal,yeast have been shown to function in transgenic plants.The enzymes such as Fatty acid synthase ,Thioesterases ,Elongases ,Desaturases ,Stearoyl-ACP desaturase ,Δ12-desaturase, , Δ15-Desaturase ,Acyltransferases and Hydroxylases are important in fatty acid manipulation.Suppression of the oleate D12-desaturase gene (which normally converts 18:1 to 18:2) in soybean, sunflower, cotton and canola has resulted in the production of oils with a high oleic acid content, which have greater oxidative stability and improved performance in high-temperature cooking applications. (Metzger and Bornscheuer., 2006).
Genetic engineering of plants for fatty acidIIM Ahmedabad
Genetic engineering can be used to modify the fatty acid composition of plants. It involves extracting the gene of interest, cloning it, designing it as needed, and transforming plant cells with the new gene. This allows transferring traits between any organisms and more precisely adding a single trait. Several studies have used genetic engineering to produce plants with modified fatty acid profiles, such as increasing stearic acid or producing petroselinic acid. The goal is to design plant oils with improved nutritional profiles or properties useful for various applications.

This document discusses genetic engineering to modify fatty acid biosynthesis in plants. It provides background on lipid structure and different types of fatty acids like saturated, unsaturated, and essential fatty acids. The document then discusses strategies for engineering plants to produce very long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (VLC-PUFAs) like EPA and DHA through the expression of genes encoding fatty acid desaturases and elongases. Optimizing these pathways in transgenic plants could provide sustainable sources of omega-3 fatty acids as alternatives to fish oils.
Transgenic plants are plants that have been genetically modified using genetic engineering techniques to introduce new traits. The goal is to insert desirable genes from other organisms to produce crops with improved traits like pest or disease resistance, increased yield, or tolerance to environmental stresses. Some examples of transgenic crops include insect-resistant corn and cotton, herbicide-resistant soybeans, and golden rice which is enriched with vitamin A. While transgenic crops offer advantages to farmers and consumers, some concerns exist around their impact on human health, the environment, and traditional farming practices. Ongoing research continues to assess both the promises and risks of this emerging agricultural technology.

This presentation is about chloroplast transformation, the importance of chloroplast transformation on nucleus transformation and strategies for making marker-free transplastomic plant
The plant nuclear genome consists of DNA organized into chromosomes within the cell nucleus. It contains both coding and regulatory sequences. The plant nuclear genome is made up of DNA, histone and non-histone proteins. DNA is packaged into nucleosomes containing histones and wrapped into chromatin. Chromatin exists in two forms - euchromatin which is loosely packaged and genetically active, and heterochromatin which is tightly packaged. Specific sequences like centromeres and telomeres aid in chromosome structure and integrity. The nuclear genome also contains both single-copy and repetitive non-coding DNA sequences.
Weeds reduce crop yields by 10-15% by competing for resources. Herbicides were developed to control weeds, but can also damage crops. Glyphosate is a broad-spectrum herbicide that inhibits the shikimic acid pathway in plants, blocking growth. To develop resistant crops, scientists have introduced the petunia EPSPS gene to overexpress the enzyme, used a mutant version of EPSPS that cannot bind glyphosate, and introduced bacterial genes that detoxify glyphosate. Combining these strategies provides high levels of herbicide resistance.

This presentation shows the classification and occurrence of human lipids and their biological value. It also reveals the chemical formula of human lipids
This document provides information about lipids including their definition, biological importance, functions, fatty acids, and essential fatty acids. Some key points:
- Lipids are organic compounds insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. They serve important structural and energy storage roles in the body.
- Fatty acids are the building blocks of lipids and can be classified by carbon chain length and saturation. Essential fatty acids like omega-3 and omega-6 must be obtained through diet.
- Lipids are important for energy storage, structural roles, vitamin absorption, hormone production, and more. Deficiencies can cause issues with growth, skin, wound healing and more. Eicosanoids derived from lipids play
Lipids are organic compounds that include fats, oils, waxes, sterols and fat-soluble vitamins. They are made up of fatty acids and their derivatives and are soluble in organic solvents but not in water. Lipids include simple lipids like fats and oils which are esters of fatty acids and glycerol. They also include compound lipids like phospholipids and glycolipids which contain additional components like phosphate groups or carbohydrates. Lipids serve important functions like energy storage, insulation, cell membrane structure and transport of fat-soluble vitamins.
This document discusses lipids and their classification. It defines lipids as biological molecules that are soluble in organic solvents but insoluble in water. Lipids are classified as simple lipids, complex lipids, and derived lipids. Simple lipids include triglycerides and waxes. Complex lipids include phospholipids, glycolipids, and lipoproteins. Phospholipids such as phosphatidylcholine are important components of cell membranes. Essential fatty acids like linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid must be obtained through diet.
Triacylglycerols produced by plants are one of the most energy-rich and abundant forms of reduced carbon available from nature. Given their chemical similarities, plant oils represent a logical substitute for conventional diesel, a non-renewable energy source. However, as plant oils are too viscous for use in modern diesel engines, they are converted to fatty acid esters. Apart from seed oil vegetative tissue is potential source as bio mass for biofuel production, taking 15 tonnes per hectare as an average dry matter yield for a perennial grass, an oil content of 20– 25% by weight will produce about 3400 l of biodiesel (Heaton et al., 2004). There is growing interest in engineering green biomass to expand the production of plant oils as feed and biofuels. Here, we show that PHOSPHOLIPID: DIACYLGLYCEROL ACYLTRANSFERASE1 (PDAT1) is a critical enzyme involved in triacylglycerol (TAG) synthesis in leaves. Overexpression of PDAT1 increases leaf TAG accumulation, leading to oil droplet overexpansion through fusion. Ectopic expression of oleosin promotes the clustering of small oil droplets. Coexpression of PDAT1 with oleosin boosts leaf TAG content by up to 6.4% of the dry weight without affecting membrane lipid composition and plant growth. PDAT1 overexpression stimulates fatty acid synthesis (FAS) and increases fatty acid flux toward the prokaryotic glycerolipid pathway (Julian at al..2013). First, an Arabidopsis thaliana gene diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT) coding for a key enzyme in triacylglycerol (TAG) biosynthesis, was expressed in tobacco under the control of a strong ribulose-biphosphate carboxylase small subunit promoter. This modification led to up to a 20-fold increase in TAG accumulation in tobacco leaves and translated into an overall of about a twofold increase in extracted fatty acids (FA) up to 5.8% of dry biomass in Nicotiana tabacum cv Wisconsin, and up to 6% in high-sugar tobacco variety NC-55 ( Andrianovet al 2010). Therefore Biotechnology has important and perhaps critical part to play in large-scale development of Biodiesel.
Palm Oil and Health - European Symposium June 25, 2014Huiledepalmesante
The European Symposium brought together scientists and legal experts to leverage the debate on palm oil and health. During the conference, three major questions were asked: “Does palm oil pose risks to human health?”, "What are the alternatives?” and “How to inform consumers?”.
1) Derived lipids are lipids obtained after hydrolysis of simple and complex lipids that possess characteristics of lipids, such as fatty acids and steroids.
2) Respiratory distress syndrome is caused by a deficiency of lecithin. The composition of lung surfactant includes dipalmitoyl lecithin, phosphatidyl glycerol, and surfactant proteins A, B, and C.
3) Fatty liver disease is characterized by too much fat in the liver and is caused by obesity, diabetes, and excessive alcohol consumption. Symptoms include fatigue, weight loss, and abdominal pain. Lipotropic factors like choline and methionine prevent fatty liver by reducing fat deposition
The document discusses the characteristics and classification of fatty acids. It notes that fatty acids are long chain carboxylic acids that can be saturated or unsaturated. Saturated fatty acids do not contain any double bonds between carbon atoms in the chain. Common saturated fatty acids include palmitic acid, stearic acid, and myristic acid. Physical properties like melting point increase with greater chain length for saturated fatty acids. The document provides details on different types of fatty acids like short chain, medium chain, and long chain fatty acids as well as monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids.
Lipids are non-polar compounds that function in energy storage, cell membrane structure, and as precursors to hormones. Most lipids are fatty acids or fatty acid esters. Membrane lipids include phospholipids, sphingolipids, and sterols. Phospholipids have a glycerol backbone, with fatty acids attached via ester bonds and a phosphate-linked polar head group. Sphingolipids are derived from sphingosine and include ceramides, sphingomyelins, and glycosphingolipids. Cholesterol is an important membrane component. Lipid composition influences membrane structure and properties.
Lipids are a heterogeneous group of compounds including fats, oils, steroids, waxes and related compounds. They are insoluble in water but soluble in nonpolar solvents. Lipids serve many important functions such as energy storage, structural components of cell membranes, and transport of fat-soluble vitamins. Abnormal lipid chemistry or metabolism can lead to diseases like obesity, atherosclerosis and diabetes. Lipids are classified into simple lipids like fats and oils, complex lipids containing additional groups like phospholipids and glycolipids, and derived lipids including fatty acids, glycerol and steroids.

This document discusses the importance of fats in bakery products. It explains that fats represent a high portion by volume and cost of raw materials in some bakery products. Fats play essential roles in product structure, texture, taste, flavor, softness, and color. The type and quality of fat used also impacts the shelf life of bakery products. It provides details on the classification and composition of fats and oils, as well as the roles of fatty acids. Test results show hydrogenated palm oil shortening provides the highest stability. The document outlines physical requirements for bakery fats and their tenderizing, shortening, and aerating functions.
Lipids have two main biological functions: as nutrients and as structural components of cell membranes. Triacylglycerols (fats) are nutrients that provide energy, while phospholipids and glycolipids form the lipid bilayer of biomembranes. Lipids are naturally occurring compounds derived from animals or plants that are insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. They include simple lipids like fats and waxes, as well as complex lipids like phospholipids and sphingolipids that perform important structural and signaling roles in cells and membranes.
This document defines and provides examples of derived lipids, including fatty acids and glycerol. It discusses the classification, nomenclature, and importance of fatty acids. Specifically, it describes saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, essential fatty acids like linoleic acid, and eicosanoids derived from arachidonic acid. It also discusses glycerol as a derived lipid and important alcohols like phytol, carotene, and sphingosine. Finally, it covers cholesterol as a key steroid and provides examples of other plant and animal sterols.
This document summarizes the key characteristics and types of lipids. Lipids are insoluble in water but soluble in non-polar solvents. The main types of lipids discussed include fatty acids, neutral fats and oils, waxes, phospholipids, sterols, and fat-soluble vitamins. Specific lipids like triglycerides, cholesterol, and various fatty acids are examined in detail. Analytical methods for analyzing lipids, such as acid value, saponification value, iodine number, gas chromatography, and enzymatic assays are also outlined.

The need for nutrient efficient rice varieties Status and prospectsSenthil Natesan
The documents discuss the need for nutrient efficient rice varieties in India. Modern agriculture is increasingly taxing on nature and fertilizer sources are becoming depleted. While yields have increased through fertilizer use, productivity must now rise through nutrient efficient varieties. Rice is a particularly important crop for India. Breeding efforts aim to develop varieties that can grow well with less fertilizer input by efficiently acquiring and utilizing nutrients. Traits related to deficiency sensing, tolerance and nutrient recycling are priorities. Evaluating landraces and wild relatives may provide useful genes for nutrient efficiency. Both conventional and molecular breeding approaches can contribute to producing varieties suited for the future of sustainable agriculture.
Deployment of rust resistance genes in wheat varietiesSenthil Natesan
Deployment of rust resistance genes in wheat varieties increased wheat production in India. Rust diseases such as leaf rust, stem rust, and yellow rust were major threats to wheat cultivation. Breeding efforts in India focused on identifying and cataloging rust resistance genes from landraces and wild relatives. Popular varieties developed in India like PBW 343 carried the rust susceptible Sr31 gene. Surveillance of rust pathogens found new virulent races emerging over time, requiring deployment of new resistance genes in wheat varieties for sustainable production.

Towards improvement of oil content in safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.)Senthil Natesan
This document discusses strategies to improve oil content and quality in safflower (Carthamus tinctorius) through plant breeding and biotechnology approaches. It summarizes safflower production trends in India, oil content variation in different cultivars, and strategies to enhance oil yield through simultaneous improvement of seed yield and oil content. The document also discusses development of breeding populations using exotic germplasm as donors, quantitative trait locus mapping efforts for oil content, and prospects for association mapping and candidate gene mining to identify alleles for high oil traits. Marker-assisted selection is proposed as a strategy to introgress simply inherited high oleic acid traits into elite safflower varieties.
New paradigms in breeder seed production include molecular marker techniques, phenomics, and controlled environments. DNA marker fingerprinting and barcoding can verify variety identification and genetic purity. Molecular grow-out tests (GOT) using nested markers allow testing of genetic purity at different generations. Phenomics facilities enable high-throughput field and greenhouse phenotyping for selection and uniformity testing. Controlled environments are useful for seedling phenotyping and screening under precise environmental conditions. Together these new approaches can help strengthen maintenance breeding and quality assurance of breeder seed.

Castor is an oilseed plant which is earning attention on researchers in recent days. Because of this, the gemplasms of ancient varieties were now recovered and grown in trial fields for getting genetically superior variety.
As a result, in Castor and Tapioca research station there a variety named YRCH (Yethapur Ricinus Communis Hybrid) with all desired traits which are essential for a plant both phenotypically and genetically was developed.
Vaccines have been revolutionary for the prevention of infectious diseases. Despite worldwide immunization of children against the six devastating diseases, 20% of infants are still left un-immunized; responsible for approximately two million unnecessary deaths every year, especially in the remote and impoverished parts of the globe. This is because of the constraints on vaccine production, distribution and delivery. One hundred percent coverage is desirable, because un-immunized populations in remote areas can spread infections and epidemics in the immunized safe areas, which have comparatively low herd immunity. For some infectious diseases, immunizations either do not exist or they are unreliable or very expensive. Immunization through DNA vaccines is an alternative but is an expensive approach, with disappointing immune response. Hence the search is on for cost-effective, easy-to-administer, easy-to-store, fail-safe and socio-culturally readily acceptable vaccines and their delivery systems. As Hippocrates said, Let thy food be thy medicine, scientists suggest that plants and plant viruses can be genetically engineered to produce vaccines against diseases such as dental caries; and life-threatening infections like diarrhea, AIDS, etc (Lal et al., 2007)
Cellular signal transduction pathways under abiotic stressSenthil Natesan
Abiotic stresses, especially cold, salinity and drought, are the primary causes of crop loss worldwide. Plant adaptation to environmental stresses is dependent upon the activation of cascades of molecular networks involved in stress perception, signal transduction, and the expression of specific stress-related genes and metabolites. Plants have stress-specific adaptive responses as well as responses which protect the plants from more than one environmental stress. There are multiple stress perception and signaling pathways, some of which are specific, but others may cross-talk at various steps (Knight & knight ,2001).Many cold induced pathways are activated to protect plants from deleterious effects of cold stress, but till date, most studied pathway is ICE-CBF-COR signaling pathway (Miura and Furumoto,2013 ) . The Salt-Overly-Sensitive (SOS) pathway, identified through isolation and study of the sos1, sos2, and sos3 mutants, is essential for maintaining favorable ion ratios in the cytoplasm and for tolerance of salt stress (shi .et al ,2002). Both ABA-dependent and -independent signaling pathways appear to be involved in osmotic stress tolerance (Nakashima and shinozaki, 2013) .ROS play a dual role in the response of plants to abiotic stresses functioning as toxic by-products of stress metabolism, as well as important signal transduction molecules and the ROS signaling networks can control growth, development, and stress response ( Mahajan,s and Tuteja, 2005) .
Genotyping by Sequencing is a robust,fast and cheap approach for high throughput marker discovery.It has applications in crop improvement programs by enhancing identification of superior genotypes.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

Seed oils of plants
Renewable sources for food applications(frying, baking,
processed foods)
Fuel (Biodiesel)
industrial raw material (soaps, detergents, paints, lubricants)
Vegetable oils account for ~85% of the world’s edible fat and oil
production
Oil palm, soybeans, rapeseed and sunflower, which together
account for ≈ 79% of the total production.
4. contd…
Oilseed crops occupy next to cereals both irrigated and rainfed
conditions.
Vegetable oils - principally of energy-dense triacylglycerols
- Calories in human and animal diets
- Preparation of margarines, salad oils, and fried foods .
- Sensory characteristics of numerous processed food
Plant kingdom opens - bio-based industrial formulations
Ex. Lubricants and drying oils
(Lu et al., 2011)

oil.
• Enhance the nutritional quality of plant oils
• Improve oil stability and long-term storage
• Production of novel oils in plants (designer oilseed)
• Increase oil content and reduce production costs
• Alter the nutritional or functional properties of the harvested
plant for use in foods, animal feeds, or industrial products.
8. Why Plant Oils Are Attractive Targets for
Metabolic Engineering
9. Oil Metabolic engineering
Main objectives are
• Increase content of ‘‘healthy’’ fatty acids and reduce
unhealthy’’ fatty acids.
• Improve oil stability to expand applications and reduce the
need for hydrogenation.
• Expand the repertoire of fatty acids through exploitation of
genetic diversity and enzyme engineering.
11. Storage lipid or oil
• Triacylglycerols
• Triacylglycerols are contained primarily in seeds but also in
some fruits such as olives or avocados
• Fats and oils are an essential part of the human diet, on
average 25 kg per person per year, mostly (80%) from plant
sources.
Triacylglycerols containing three fatty acids are of a nonpolar nature.
(Slater et al.,2011)
15. Strategies for metabolic engineering in plants
• The production of more of a specific desired compound.
• The production of less of a specific unwanted compound.
• The production of a novel compound (i.e. a molecule that is
produced in nature.
16. Strategies for metabolic engineering
•Engineering of single step in a pathway to increase or decrease
metabolic flux to target compounds.
•To block competitive pathways or to introduce short cuts that
divert metabolic flux in a particular way.
•Metabolic engineering has been also used in an attempt to
increase starch yields.
17. Enzymes to be manipulated
•Fatty acid synthase:- KASI, KASII, KASIII
•Thioesterases - produce medium chain FAs by removing acyl
group.
•Elongases - produce 20:1 and 22:1 FAs from oleate
•Desaturases- introduce double bonds into FA chain.
•Stearoyl-ACP Δ9-desaturase:- in the plastid stroma that
converts stearate into oleate.
•Δ12-desaturase, Δ15-desaturase
•Acyltransferases - incorporate FAs into DAG and TAG.
•Hydroxylases - incorporate hydroxyl groups in the FA chain.
21. Improvement of properties of oils
• Cooking oils generally contain a higher proportion of mono-
unsaturated FAs (oleic acid).
• Margarines and spreads are often rich in saturated fatty acids (e.g.
palmitic and stearic acids).
• Other oils, such as salad oils, contain more polyunsaturated FAs
(e.g. linoleic and α-linolenic acids).
• Production of oils for specific applications has been achieved by
mixing of various plant oils.
• Partial hydrogenation
(Ascherio.,2006).
22. Seed oil quality
• Fatty acid composition of storage triacylglycerols (TAGs).
• The number of double bonds.
• Degree of unsaturation in the fatty acyl moieties is the prime
determinant of melting point.
• Oxidative stability.
• Crystallization properties.
• Nutritional characteristics.
• Chain length.
• Presence of additional functional groups
23. Improvement of oil quality
• The production of oils with a high lauric acid (12:0) content in
Arabidopsis and rapeseed.
• Transgenic expression of a laurate-specific acyl-ACP
thioesterase gene from the California bay tree (Umbellularia
californica).
• Firstly in Arabidopsis and subsequently in rapeseed led to the
accumulation of over 50% laurate in the seed TAG.
• Analysis of triglycerides in the transgenic rapeseed oils,
however, revealed that laurate was present in high amounts.
• Poorly incorporated at sn-2. To overcome this limitation, the
gene for a laurate-specific LPAAT obtained from coconut.
(Wiberg et al., 2000)
24. Erucic acid improvement
• Breeding strategies applied to increase the content of
linolenic acid (18:3) from around 45% to over 65% in flax and
erucic acid (22:1) in rapeseed.
• Erucic acid in rapeseed is not efficiently esterified to the
center (sn-2) position.erucic acid in this species would
therefore be only 67% of total seed fatty acids.
• By overexpressing the condensing enzyme responsible for
erucic acid synthesis with an acyltransferase enzyme capable
of catalyzing the incorporation of erucic acid into the sn-2
position.
(Han et al., 2001)
25. VLC-PUFA
• (VLC-PUFAs) - arachidonic acid (20:4D5,8,11,14), eicosapentaenoic acid
(20:5D5,8,11,14,17) and docosahexaenoic acid (22:6D4,7,10,13,16,19).
• VLCPUFAs confer flexibility, fluidity and selective permeability to
cellular membranes, and may also be metabolized to produce lipid
signalling molecules such as eicosanoids.
• Respective VLC-PUFA derivatives referred to as omega-6 and omega-3
fatty acids as they contain double bonds located six or three carbons
from the methyl (omega) end of the fatty acids.
• The recommended ratio of omega6/omega3 fatty acids in the human
diet is approximately 2:1 to 6:1.
(Simopoulos, 2000; Wijendran and Hayes, 2004),
27. Applications of VLC-PUFAs
• VLC-PUFAs are found in many food applications, including infant
formulas, adult dietary supplements, animal feed and food
additives, and are used as precursors for the production of
pharmaceuticals.
• The world wholesale market for infant formula alone is estimated
to be valued at $10 billion per year (Ward and Singh, 2005).
• GLA is used in the treatment of skin conditions such as atopic
eczema as well as having possible anti-viral and anti-cancer
properties.
• Oral health supplement.
(Napier.,2000)
29. Fish oil
• Some mosses have been reported to contain AA and EPA ( Kaewsuwan et
al., 2006), but the main organisms responsible for producing the EPA and
DHA present in the human diet are marine microalgae (Carlsson et
al.,2007).
• The food chain to accumulate in fish oils
• An increased intake of this food has been recommended as a way towards
a more balanced ratio of omega6 to omega3 fatty acids. (Sargent and
Tacon, 1999)
• But various problems associated with commercial fish farming (Naylor et
al., 2000).
• Generation of plants that produce high amounts of ‘fish oil’-type fatty
acids
30. Engineering of Castor oil
• The low oxidative stability of vegetable oils can be improved
through chemical modification of plant oils such as castor bean
oil (Ricinus communis).
• This speciality oil for high-temperature applications (Schneider,
2006).
• Demand for castor oil is high, however cultivation of this crop is
restricted due to the presence of a toxin (ricin) and allergenic
proteins
• Cost of castor oil is relatively high.
31. Transgenic Rapeseed
• The first transgenic crop with a modified seed composition to
be approved for unrestrictive commercial cultivation in the
USA was a lauric oil rapeseed grown in 1995.
• Rapeseed, Brassica napus, is a species that is relatively
amenable to transformation and regeneration.
• Secondly, the metabolic pathways involved in storage oil
biosynthesis appeared at first to be well defined and
potentially straightforward to manipulate via single gene
insertions.
• Traditional rapeseed oil accumulates high amounts of erucic
acid (C22:1) comprising 45–50% of the total fatty acids.
32. Transgenic plants
• Suppression of the oleate D12-desaturase gene (which
normally converts 18:1 to 18:2) in soybean, sunflower, cotton
and canola has resulted in the production of oils with a high
oleic acid content, which have greater oxidative stability and
improved performance in high-temperature cooking
applications.
(Metzger and Bornscheuer, 2006).
34. Non-food applications
•It is estimated that about 14% of the fats and oils are used
chemically and 6% as feed material (Patel et al., 2006).
•In Europe where biodiesel is already a major fuel derived from
oils such as rapeseed, sunflower or palm Durrett et al. (2008).
•Industrial usage of plant oils is ‘soy ink’, which is produced from
soybean oil that is blended with pigments, resins and waxes to
make environmentally friendly printing inks (Erhan et al., 1992).
35. Non-food applications
• The market for lauric acid alone is estimated to be worth
more than $1.4 billion annually.
• Erucic acid is used to produce erucamide, which is used as a
slipping agent for production of extruded polyethylene and
propylene films such as shopping or refuse bags (Wang et al.,
2003).
• Global demand for erucic acid and the related behenic acid
(22:0) is expected to continue to increase, rising from 18 and
15 million tonnes in 1990 to 35 and 46 million tonnes,
respectively, by 2010 (Jadhav et al., 2005).
36. Derivatives Uses,Applications

37. Petroselinic acid
• Useful industrial raw material for polymer and detergent
manufacture.
• Hardening agent for margarines .
• Dietary studies in rats however, indicate that petroselinic acid
ingestion is associated with liver abnormalities and inhibition
of arachidonic acid biosynthesis.
• Indicates that such transgenic oil crops may be better
targeted initially to produce industrial, rather than edible
products.
38. • The species such as coriander produce a high percentage of
petroselinic acid upto 80% in their seed oils.
• A cDNA has been isolated from coriander that codes for an
acyl-ACP desaturase involved in petroselinic acid biosynthesis.
• Three enzymes involved in Biosynthesis.
• Acyl-ACP desaturase act on Palmitoyl-ACP
• 3-Ketoacyl-ACP synthase for elongation
• Acyl-ACP thioesterase for release.
40. • The production of GLA in Borage and Evening primose crops is more
than other oilseed crops.
• D6 fatty acid desaturase enzyme having conserved histidine boxes
essential for enzyme function.
• This gene driven by constitutive promotor cloned and introduced in
tobacco and in sunflower resulting in increase GLA content in oil.
43. Two approches
• A novel FatB thioesterase from Diploknema butyracea was
engineered into the B. juncea crop, driven by the seed-
specific napin promoter.
• The B. juncea fatty acid elongase was restricted at the genetic
level by incorporation of hair-pin RNA known to cause post-
transcriptional gene silencing.
48. Paper contd…
• Technique of hairpin RNA-mediated gene silencing to down-
regulate the seed expression of two key fatty acid desaturase
genes, ghSAD-1-encoding stearoyl-acyl-carrier protein 9
desaturase and ghFAD2-1-encoding oleoyl
phosphatidylcholine 6-desaturase.
• Hairpin RNA-encoding gene constructs (HP) targeted against
either ghSAD-1 or ghFAD2-1 were transformed into cotton

Transcriptional Gene Silencing
Sixth largest source of vegetable oil
26% palmitic acid (C16:0),
3% Stearic acid (C18:0) 40%
15% oleic acid (C18:1), 77%
58% linoleic acid (C18:2)
Stearoyl-acyl-carrier protein (ACP) Δ9-
desaturase
oleoyl-phosphatidylcholine (PC)
ω6-desaturase
In addition, palmitic acid was significantly
lowered in both high-stearic and high-oleic
lines.
Sometimes hydrogenated to achieve the very
high stability required in deepfrying food
50. • Down-regulation of the ghSAD-1 gene substantially increased
stearic acid from the normal levels of 2% to 3% up to as high
as 40%
• Silencing of the ghFAD2-1 gene resulted in greatly elevated
oleic acid content, up to 77% compared with about 15% in
seeds of untransformed plants.
• By intercrossing the high-stearic and high-oleic genotypes, it
was possible to simultaneously down-regulate both ghSAD-1
and ghFAD2-1 to the same degree as observed in the
individually silenced parental lines.
Editor's Notes
Vegetable oils consist principally of energy-dense triacylglycerols that are composed of three fatty acids bound to a glycerol backbone - Important source of calories in human and animal diets and are also used in the preparation of margarines, salad oils, and fried foods. - The energy density of triacylglycerols has also increasingly made these molecules an attractive source of biodiesel that is produced by transesterification of their component fatty acids. - diverse food and non-food applications, vegetable oils are a highly desired commodity whose world-wide consumption has increased by >50% during the past decade plant kingdom opens up opportunities for the use of vegetable oils in a variety of bio-based industrial formulations, including lubricants and drying oils. Oils and fats also contribute significantly as a functional ingredient in improving the sensory characteristics of numerous processed food products Consumption >50% during the past decade
Fig 2- The rising consumption of vegetable oils is partly due to enhanced demand for food use driven by increased global affluence and a growing reliance on biodiesel for liquid transportation fuel. - This is exemplified by the increased use of rapeseed oil for non-food applications, principally biodiesel production, from about one million metric tons in 2000 to nearly seven million metric tons in 2009/2010 Fig1. - vegetable oils, unlike petroleum, are renewable, their supply is limited The strong demand for vegetable oils and the limitation of land for cropping has led to substantial increases in the prices of vegetable oils during the past five years. - prices of palm, soybean, and rapeseed oil, for example, have doubled since 2000 and peaked in 2008 at nearly three-fold higher levels than those in 2000
- With these back ground, I will discus, Biotechnology will full fill the demand of oil around the world through MAS or genetically modified crops to increase oils quantity and quality to meet industrial global demand. How this will be………….. We can see progress made on this in subsequent slids….
which are more stable under high temperature oleic acid. However, hydrogenation also introduces unwanted trans FAs into the oil, which has undesirable effects on human health and nutrition
