Borage, also known as 'the Bee Plant,' is emerging as a commercial oilseed crop in Canada. Borage seed oil**contains 20-25% of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) and is the highest known plant-based source of GLA. GLA**has many health benefits and has been widely used as a general health supplement. With conventional breeding**methods, Bioriginal Food & Science Corporation (Saskatoon, Saskatchewan; Bioriginal thereafter) has**developed high quality borage cultivars and is now in the process of further improving them. For rapid and**targeted breeding, Bioriginal is interested in establishing a high-throughput and non-destructive method for**lipid analysis and use it to analyze borage cultivars. As a Canada Research Chair in Plant Lipid Biotechnology,**Dr. Chen at the University of Alberta has rich experience in plant lipid analysis and his lab is well established**for lipid analysis and oilseed biotechnology. This Engage project will bridge relations between Bioriginal and**the Chen laboratory to achieve the above goals. The results will be valuable for further improving the borage**cultivars in Bioriginal and beneficial to Canada's agricultural industry. The studies will support a highly**qualified postdoctoral fellow.

琉璃苣，也被称为“蜜蜂植物”，正在加拿大成为一种商业油料作物。琉璃苣籽油 ** 含有20-25%的γ-亚麻酸（GLA），是已知的最高的GLA植物来源。GLA** 具有许多健康益处，已被广泛用作一般健康补充剂。通过传统的育种方法，Bioriginal食品和科学公司（萨斯卡通，萨斯喀彻温省;此后Bioriginal）已经开发了高质量的琉璃苣品种，现在正在进一步改进它们。为了快速和有针对性的育种，Bioriginal有兴趣建立一种高通量和非破坏性的 ** 脂质分析方法，并用于分析琉璃苣品种。作为加拿大植物脂质生物技术的研究主席，** 阿尔伯塔大学的陈博士在植物脂质分析方面拥有丰富的经验，他的实验室在脂质分析和油籽生物技术方面非常成熟 **。这个Engage项目将在Bioriginal和 ** Chen实验室之间建立联系，以实现上述目标。本研究结果对进一步改良Bioriginal中的琉璃苣品种具有重要的参考价值，对加拿大的农业生产具有一定的借鉴意义。这些研究将支持一个高度合格的博士后研究员。
