Engineering Enhanced Performance in Plant Diacylglycerol Acyltransferase and Long-Chain Acyl-CoA Synthetase
DownloadSpring 2018
Triacylglycerol (TAG) is the major storage lipid in higher plants and has great nutritional and industrial value. Plant storage lipid biosynthesis involves different subcellular compartments and a complex network of enzymes and proteins. Among them, endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-bound diacylglycerol...

Metabolic Engineering of Arabidopsis for Production of Punicic Acid Using Different Promoters
DownloadFall 2016
Fatty acids with conjugated double bonds play a special role in determining both the nutritional and industrial uses of plant oils. Punicic acid (18:3Δ9cis,11trans,13cis), a conjugated fatty acid naturally enriched in the pomegranate (Punica granatum) seeds, has gained increasing attention from...

Probing the limits of very long chain polyunsaturated fatty acid accumulation in transgenic Brassica napus
DownloadSpring 2010
Transgenic oilseeds capable of producing high levels of very long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (VLCPUFA) represent a promising alternative to marine oils as a source of nutritionally important fatty acids such as arachidonic acid (ARA, 20:4Δ5,8,11,14) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA,...
