(N/A) Recombinant $DNA$ technology $(rDNA)$ is a technique used for manipulating the genetic material of an organism to obtain desired traits.
Oil is primarily composed of triglycerides,which are esters of glycerol and fatty acids.
By using $rDNA$ technology,scientists can identify and silence or remove the specific genes responsible for the biosynthesis of either glycerol or fatty acids within the seed.
If the metabolic pathway for oil synthesis is interrupted at the genetic level,the plant will produce seeds that are devoid of oil or have significantly reduced oil content.
