| Abstract | Rice bran, the byproduct of brown rice, with a million tons produced annually, is the major storage organ for lipids. Increasing the α-linolenic acid (ALA) content in rice bran by biotechnology strategies is beneficial for both human health and the oil industries. We introduced two ω3/Δ15 fatty acid desaturase genes cloned from rice and soybean into rice under the control of an embryo-specific promoter, REG. The ALA content (dry weight) in embryos and bran was increased up to 6.09 and 5.86 mg/g, respectively, in transgenic lines, which was 25.4- and 27.9-fold higher than the 0.24 and 0.21 mg/g in the nontransformant control. ALA accounted for 46.7 and 44.3 % of the total fatty acids in embryos and bran, respectively, of transgenic plants, which was comparable to that in linseed and perilla seeds. The trait of high ALA content was stably inherited. The enhanced ALA content was preferentially located at the sn-2 position in triacylglycerols, which are digestible and absorbable for humans. ALA-enriched rice bran may help alleviate human health problems caused by ALA deficiency, with the production of healthy bran oil for humans and feed for animals. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
