Dehesh et al. (1996, Plant J. 9(2):167-172) describe the expression of a FATB cDNA (Ch FATB2) from the Mexican shrub Cuphea hookeriana, which accumulates up to 75 mol % caprylate (C8:0) and caprate (C10:0) in its seed oil, in seeds of transgenic canola, which normally does not accumulate these fatty acids, resulting in the accumulation of caprylate (C8:0), caprate (C10:0) and laurate (C12:0) up to 11, 27 and 2 mol %, respectively.
