Temporal gene expression of 3-ketoacyl-CoA reductase is different in high and in low erucic acid Brassica napus cultivars during seed development

We also investigated the regulation of gene expression in High Erucic Acid Rapeseed (HEAR) and in Low Erucic Acid Rapeseed (LEAR) cultivars during seed development. The co-expression of Bn-fae1 and Bn-kcr observed in HEAR cultivar during seed development was different in LEAR cultivar, suggesting that expression of both genes was directly or indirectly linked.
