Evolutionary pattern of the FAE1 gene in brassicaceae and its correlation with the erucic acid trait.

Evolutionary pattern of the FAE1 gene in brassicaceae and its correlation with the erucic acid trait.

The fatty acid elongase 1 (FAE1) gene catalyzes the initial condensation step in the elongation pathway of VLCFA (very long chain fatty acid) biosynthesis and is thus a key gene in erucic acid biosynthesis. Based on a worldwide collection of 62 accessions representing 14 tribes, 31 genera, 51 specie...
