Spring 2013
Egg yolk contains approximately 10% (w/w) phospholipids (PL), of which about 70% is phosphatidylcholine (PC). Conventional methods of PL extraction from egg yolk involve using hazardous organic solvents. Supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2), as a "green" solvent, had been applied for the...

Further improving of seed yield, other agronomic and seed quality traits in spring canola Brassica napus requires broadening of genetic diversity in this crop. The European winter oilseed B. napus is known to be genetically diverse from spring oilseed B. napus. We hypothesized that elite spring...

Improving Verticillium longisporum inoculation protocols and quantifying canola yield losses
DownloadSpring 2024
Verticillium stripe, caused by Verticillium longisporum, is an emerging soilborne disease of the Canadian canola (Brassica napus) crop. This study aimed to refine techniques for inoculating the pathogen on canola and to quantify its impact on hybrid canola yield under greenhouse and field...

In vivo and in vitro evidence for biochemical coupling of reactions catalyzed by lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase and diacyglycerol acyltransferase
Download2015
Greer, Michael S., Pan, Xue, Weselake, Randall J., Chen, Guanqun, Zou, Jitao, Caldo, Kristian Mark P., Kazachkov, Michael
Seed oils of flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) and many other plant species contain substantial amounts of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). Phosphatidylcholine (PC) is the major site for PUFA synthesis. The exact mechanisms of how these PUFAs are channeled from PC into triacylglycerol (TAG) needs...

Insights into the role of CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase-alpha in hepatic lipid metabolism and cellular integrity
DownloadFall 2011
Lower levels of hepatic phosphatidylcholine (PC) are suggested to play a role in the pathogenesis of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Mice lacking hepatic CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase-α (LCTα-/-), the regulatory enzyme in the CDP-choline pathway for PC biosynthesis, were fed a...

Insights into the Transcriptional Regulation and Physiological Importance of Phosphatidylethanolamine N-Methyltransferase
DownloadSpring 2010
Phosphatidylcholine (PC) is made in all nucleated mammalian cells via the CDP-choline pathway. Another major pathway for PC biosynthesis in liver is catalyzed by phosphatidylethanolamine N-methyltransferase (PEMT). We have identified 3T3-L1 adipocytes as a cell culture model that expresses PEMT...

Introgression of Clubroot Resistance from Brassica oleracea into B. napus Canola through Interspecific Cross
DownloadSpring 2022
Clubroot disease caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae Woronin is a serious threat to canola production in Canada. Most of the available clubroot-resistant canola cultivars carry major resistance genes of the Brassica A genome. However, the ineffectiveness of this type of resistance has been...

Molecular and functional characterization of sn-glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase of plants
DownloadSpring 2011
sn-Glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase (GPAT) catalyzes the acylation of sn-1 position of sn-glycerol-3-phosphate to produce lysophosphatidic acid and Coenzyme A. GPATs are involved in several lipid synthetic pathways and play important physiological roles in plant development. The present...
