General Information

General Information Comment Organism
physiological function transgenic expression in Brassica napus with a signal peptide sequence. Transgenic lines exhibit significantly higher exuded phytase activity when compared to wild-type controls. Transgenic Brassica napus has significantly improved phosphate uptake and plant biomass. Seed yields of transgenic increase by 20.9% when compared to wild-type. When phytate is used as the sole phosphate source, phosphate accumulation in seeds increases by 20.6. Phytase activities in transgenic canola seeds range from 1,138 to 1,605 U/kg seeds, while no phytase activity is detected in wild-type seeds. Phytic acid content in seeds is significantly lower than in wild-type Aspergillus niger
