Engineering crops for selected fatty acid production is one of the important aim for plant biotechnology. An attempt has been made to increase one particular fatty acid stearate in transgenic Brassica plant. Synthesis of high proportion of stearate (18: 0) can reduce the process of hydrogenation. Normally hydrogenation generates high amount of trans fatty acids, […]

In this article we will discuss about the metabolic engineering of flavonoids. Flavonoids are diverse group of plant natural product synthesised mainly from phenyl propanoid and acetate derived precursors. Flavonoids play a active role in plant defence microorganism, pest, plant microbe signalling and also in growth and development. These compounds exhibit potential antioxidant activity. The […]
