| Canola has been the subject of both kinds of modification, first to lower erucic acid levels and then to increase pesticide resistance. |
|
| For both identified QTL, the results showed that the alleles associated with high erucic acid levels are derived from the Sollux parent. |
|
| The seed oil has a much reduced content of erucic acid, which is a long-chain fatty acid that is toxic to humans. |
|
| Canadians began cross-pollinating the rape plants, and by the 1970s developed a variety that contains less than two percent erucic acid. |
|
| The original rapeseed oil, used as both a lubricant and an edible oil, was harmful when ingested because of high levels of a chemical called erucic acid. |
|
| In August, Solazyme entered into a multi-year deal to deliver Sasol s olefins and surfactants unit with an erucic acid-rich oil. |
|
| The high level of erucic acid in rapeseed did cause lesions in the hearts of a rare breed of laboratory rat, says Sean O'Keefe, a professor of food science at Virginia Tech. |
|
| Xu and Qiu have also pointed out that some lipids, such as erucic acid, have medical effects on malnutrition and adrenal gland leucotomy. |
|
| Sensitivity of zero erucic acid genotypes of Oleiferous Brassica to plant population and planting geometry. |
|
| Crambe is touted as a domestic source of erucic acid, which now comes into the United States mainly in the form of rapeseed oil from Canada and Europe. |
|
| Traditional rapeseed contained between 25-50 percent erucic acid and glucosinolates, some of which had goitrogenic or other antinutritional properties. |
|
| Morris notes that winged beans, aside from being a source of lectin, also contain erucic acid and polyunsaturated fatty acids that can be used to treat acne and eczema. |
|
| In the last century, Canadian researchers managed to develop rapeseed with a low glucosinolate level and minimal erucic acid content using traditional plant breeding methods. |
|
| Erucic acid is a naturally occurring substance in some plant-derived oils, primarily varieties of mustard seed oil and some types of rapeseed oil. |
|
| Erucic acid, a rare plant fatty acid found in the Dioscorea dumetorum varieties, is also a component of rapeseed oil, known to have some health implications. |
