Genetic Engineering of Lesquerella with Increased Ricinoleic Acid Content in Seed Oil

Seeds of castor (<i>Ricinus communis</i>) are enriched in oil with high levels of the industrially valuable fatty acid ricinoleic acid (18:1OH), but production of this plant is limited because of the cooccurrence of the ricin toxin in its seeds. Lesquerella (<i>Physaria fendleri<...
