Substrate specificity of acyl-Delta(6)-desaturases from Continental versus Macaronesian Echium species

Echium (Boraginaceae) species from the Macaronesian islands exhibit an unusually high level of gamma-linolenic acid (18:3n-6; GLA) and relatively low content of octadecatetraenoic acid (18:4n-3; OTA) in the seed, while the amounts of both fatty acids in their Continental (European) relatives are rat...
