Abstract:Background Ricinoleic acid is a kind of unsaturated fatty acid in castor oil with wide application value. It is sourced from R. communis seed oil, where it is present in large amounts. However, there is little transcriptomic information on genes related to ricinoleic acid biosynthesis in castor bean.Results In order to better understand the regulation mechanism of ricinoleic acid biosynthesis, immature seeds at three developmental stages (15, 30, and 45 days after pollination) were collected. The results indic… Show more
