nutrition | in crop plants, sinapate esters are antinutritive compounds. They contribute to the bitter taste and astringency of seed products. Sinapate esters form complexes with proteins during seed oil processing, thus compromising the use of the valuable seed meal for animal feed and preventing it from being used as human food supplement. Thus, there is a fundamental interest in reducing the amount of sinapate esters in the seed. Suppressing the expression of the key enzymes in sinapine synthesis, sinapoylglucose:choline O-napoyltransferase (BnSCT) and UDP-glucose:sinapate glucosyltransferase (BnSGT1), by techniques such as dsRNAi should by a valuable step in establishing Brassica napus, an important oil crop, as a protein crop as well | Brassica napus |
