- Species from the Celastraceae family contain unique genes that can alter oil content and fatty acid composition in vegetable oils.
- Researchers identified and isolated a gene coding for diacylglycerol acetyltransferase (DAcT) that allows plants to create acetylated triacylglycerols.
- This gene was successfully modified, cloned, and inserted into tobacco plants, leading to confirmed overexpression and variable production of acetylated triacylglycerols in the transgenic plants' immature seeds.
