Heterologous Reconstitution of Omega-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids in Arabidopsis

Figure 2

Schematic of constructs used for coexpression of the genes McD6DES, AsELOVL5, and PtD5DES in seeds of Arabidopsis. (a) The intermediate vector pGEM7Zf, used for individual seed-specific expression constructs. (b) The seed-specific expression vector D6ELD5, designed for easy coexpression of multiple genes. Vicilin P: vicilin promoter; OCS: octopine synthase terminator; bar, used to confer Basta resistance to plants under the control of a CaMV 35S promoter (P35S).
