Increase in alpha-linolenic acid content by simultaneous expression of fatty acid metabolism genes in Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.).

ABSTRACT: Sesame is considered one of India's important sources of edible oil and an excellent dietary source for its nutritional and medicinal value. Sesame DGAT1 and PDAT1 genes were co-expressed with omega 3 FAD genes. Systemic isolation of sesame DGAT1, PDAT1, ER type FAD3, and chloroplast type FAD7/8 genes were performed. Their sequence was analyzed for genomic organization, amino acid characterization, organ specificity, and phylogenetic relationships. The insilico analysis revealed the unique features of DGAT1, PDAT1, and FAD3 gene sequences, whereas FAD7 and FAD8 sequences had the same protein characters and were grouped in phylogeny analysis, only variation was found in their mRNA UTR regions.
