Can you suggest a method to remove oil [hydrocarbon) from seeds based on your understanding of rDNA technology and chemistry of oil?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Oil is a lipid synthesized by the condensation of one molecule of glycerol with three molecules of fatty acids. Thus, the oil from the seeds can be removed by preventing the synthesis of either glycerol or the enzyme lipase which catalyses the synthesis of oil. It can be achieved by knocking out the genes coding for the enzyme lipase or the enzyme required for the synthesis of glycerol.
