Seed-specific down-regulation of Arabidopsis CELLULOSE SYNTHASE 1 or 9 reduces seed cellulose content and differentially affects carbon partitioning
Download2020-04-20
Jayawardhane, Kethmi N., Singer, Stacy D., Ozga, Jocelyn A., Rizvi, Syed Masood, Weselake, Randall J., Chen, Guanqun
Key message Seed-specific down-regulation of AtCESA1 and AtCESA9, which encode cellulose synthase subunits, differentially affects seed storage compound accumulation in Arabidopsis. High amounts of cellulose can negatively affect crop seed quality, and, therefore, diverting carbon partitioning...

The potential of genome editing for improving seed oil content and fatty acid composition in oilseed crops
Download2020-08-27
Subedi, Udaya, Jayawardhane, Kethmi N., Pan, Xue, Ozga, Jocelyn, Chen, Guanqun, Foroud, Nora A., Singer, Stacy D.
A continuous rise in demand for vegetable oils, which comprise mainly the storage lipid triacylglycerol, is fueling a surge in research efforts to increase seed oil content and improve fatty acid composition in oilseed crops. Progress in this area has been achieved using both conventional...
