Long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase (LACS, EC 6.2.1.3) catalyzes the ATP-dependent activation of free fatty acid to form acyl-CoA, which in turn serves as the major acyl donor for various lipid metabolic pathways. Increasing the size of acyl-CoA pool by enhancing LACS activity appears to be a useful...

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...
