Abstract

The increased production of trienoic fatty acids, hexadecatrienoic (16:3) and linolenic (18:3) acids, is a response connected with cold acclimation of higher plants and is thought to protect plant cells against cold damage. Transgenic tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum cv SR1) plants that contain increased levels of 16:3 and 18:3 fatty acids, and correspondingly decreased levels of their precursors, hexadecadienoic and linoleic acids, were engineered by introduction of a chloroplast [omega]-3 fatty acid desaturase gene (the fad7 gene) isolated from Arabidopsis thaliana. When exposed to 1[deg]C for 7 d and then cultured at 25[deg]C, the suppression of leaf growth observed in the wild-type plants was significantly alleviated in the transgenic plants with the fad7 gene. The low-temperature- induced chlorosis was also much reduced in the plants transformed with the fad7 gene. These results indicate that increased levels of trienoic fatty acids in genetically engineered plants enhance cold tolerance.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
