Functional Characterization of Plant Patatin-like Phospholipase A III in Transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana Producing 18 Carbon Hydroxy Fatty Acids
DownloadFall 2016
Hydroxy fatty acid (HFA)-enriched oils are valuable in many oleo-chemical industries. The major natural source of HFA, however, is castor (Ricinus communis) seed, which is poisonous to human beings and animals. Although over-expressing a castor OLEATE 12-HYDROXYLASE (RcFAH12) in Arabiodpsis...

The role of de novo phosphatidylcholine synthesis in the gut-liver axis and intestinal homeostasis
DownloadSpring 2023
The intestine and liver are in constant communication to maintain lipid processes and to prevent disease states such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and colitis. Phosphatidylcholine (PC) can be synthesized in the liver by the CDP-choline pathway or the phosphatidylethanolamine...
