title: Effects of manipulating expression of acetyl-CoA carboxylase I in Brassica napus L. embryos.
abstract: Acetyl-CoA carboxylase I (ACCase I) in developing oilseed rape embryos is predominantly cystosolic, based upon measurement of its propionyl-CoA carboxylase activity. Reduction of ACCase I by antisense expression reduces seed lipid content and affects carbohydrate metabolism.
