Canola is Canada's most important oilseed crop, contributing more than $15 billion to the Canadian economy and representing a leading source of revenue for Canadian crop producers. Much of the value of canola is derived from its seed oil, which is synthesized by successive enzymatic reactions during seed development. Canola seed oil is in increasing demand around the world for both food and non-food applications; thus, increasing the seed oil content of canola would be a tremendous advantage for Canada's oilseed industry. Previously, our laboratory has found that the seed oil content of canola can be increased by biotechnological manipulation; however, conventional methods for improving oil-synthesizing enzymes are time-consuming,

油菜籽是加拿大最重要的油籽作物，为加拿大经济贡献了超过150亿美元，是加拿大作物生产者的主要收入来源。油菜籽的大部分价值来自其种子油，油菜籽油是在种子发育过程中通过连续的酶反应合成的。无论是食用还是非食用，世界各地对油菜籽油的需求都在不断增加；因此，提高油菜籽油的含量对加拿大的油籽工业来说将是一个巨大的优势。此前，我们实验室已经发现，通过生物技术操作可以提高油菜籽的含油量，但传统的提高油脂合成酶的方法耗时较长，
