Popis: Enzymic activities and gene expression of oleoylCoA elongase were studied during seed development using two different rapeseed cultivars, high-erucic-acid rapeseed (HEAR) and low-erucic-acid rapeseed (LEAR). The overall elongase activities were maximal in HEAR between the fourth and eighth weeks after pollination (WAP) and absent in LEAR. The 3-ketoacyl-CoA synthase (condensing enzyme, CE) mRNA levels and the developmental profiles in the two cultivars were different since maximal expression levels were detected in HEAR and LEAR at WAP 4 and WAP 6, respectively. Anti-CE antibodies revealed two proteins of 60 and 67 kDa in both cultivars and an additional reacting protein of 57 kDa in HEAR.
