Title: A gene,VTE4,from the sunflower of known sequence and well-understood transcriptional regulation, is ... Post by: Jappyde1 on Jan 4, 2022 A gene, VTE4, from the sunflower of known sequence and well-understood transcriptional regulation, is available from another lab. The product of this gene enables sunflowers to to produce a significantly increased amount of vitamin E from a substrate produced in all plants. The plant Brassica napus is harvested for canola oil. To produce canola oil with increased vitamin E, how would you proceed?
▸ Select Brassica plants with the highest titer of the vitamin, isolate the genes responsible, and cause these genes to duplicate. ▸ Use a yeast system to engineer yeasts that produce the vitamin, and get manufacturers to add this to the canola oil during bottling. ▸ Introduce the gene and necessary cis elements into Brassica, along with a reporter gene, then measure the vitamin E produced. ▸ Clone VTE4 in A. tumefaciens and use these bacteria to produce transgenic Brassica. ▸ Introduce VTE4 into tomato plants or another food that humans eat more than Brassica.
