γ-Linolenic acid (GLA; C18:3 Δ 6,9,12 ) is a component of the seed oils evening primrose ( Oenothera spp.), borage Borago officinalis L.), and some other plants. It widely used as dietary supplement for treatment various medical conditions. GLA synthesized by 6 -fatty desaturase using linoleic (C18:2 9,12 substrate. To enable production in conventional oilseeds, we have isolated cDNA encoding from developing seeds confirmed its function expression transgenic tobacco Analysis leaf lipids...
The biosynthesis of nutritionally important polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in phytoplankton is influenced by environmental temperature. We investigated the potential climate warming to alter lipid dynamics Scenedesmus obliquus (Turpin) Kütz. comparing and acid (FA) profiles as well FA metabolism (using [1-14C] acetate) at 20°C 28°C. documented an overall decline (53%–37%) proportion n-3 PUFA (in particular, α-linolenic [ALA; 18:3n-3]), a concomitant increase saturated (SAFAs) total...
This study evaluated 20 advanced selections, derived from a strawberry interspecific backcross program, and their parents for fruit weight, commercial yield, acidity, sugar content, antioxidant capacity, phenol anthocyanin contents. Phytochemical profiling analysis was performed to determine the compositional characteristics of improved selections in comparison with an important variety ('Elsanta'). Advanced showed substantial improvement agronomic nutritional quality parameters. From there...
Traditional field vegetation plot surveys are critical for monitoring ecosystem restoration performance and include visual observations to quantitatively measure plants (e.g., species composition abundance). However, can be costly, time-consuming, only provide data at discrete locations, leaving potential gaps across a site. Uncrewed aircraft system (UAS) technology help fill between high-to-moderate spatial resolution 1–30 m) satellite imagery, manned airborne data, traditional surveys, yet...
Phytochemical diversity with respect to a range of polar (including amino acids, organic sugars, and sugar alcohols) nonpolar fatty alkanols, sterols) metabolites was examined within tubers from total 29 genetically diverse potato cultivars Chilean landraces using metabolomics approach by gas chromatography−mass spectrometry. From principal component analysis the metabolite data there insufficient variation differentiate majority landraces. Analysis all profiles revealed separation two...
Analysis of the lipids Mycobacterium tuberculosis, by thin-layer chromatography, revealed presence two families novel glycolipids each having closely-related members but differing widely in polarity. The least and most polar were characterized from M. tuberculosis strains C H37Rv, respectively; all based on trehalose, pair more long-chain substituents than pair. acyl four mainly straight-chain C16 C18 acids 2,4,6-trimethyltetracos-2-enoic (C27-mycolipenic) acid, second glycolipid contained...
Systematic thin layer chromatographic (TLC) analysis of apolar lipids in Mycobacterium kansasii revealed the presence a previously uncharacterized novel component. The product was ubiquitously found panel M. clinical isolates, as well other pathogenic and non-pathogenic mycobacterial species. TLC [(14)C]-acetate- or [(14)C]-glycerol-labelled cultures tentatively assigned an unusual triacylglycerol-related lipid. Subsequent purification, followed by structural determination using (1)H-nuclear...
Phytochemical diversity was examined by gas chromatography−mass spectrometry in tubers of genotypes belonging to groups Andigena, Phureja, Stenotomum, and Tuberosum the potato, Solanum tuberosum. Polar extracts (mainly amino acids, organic sugars, sugar alcohols) nonpolar fatty alcohols, sterols) were examined. There a large range levels metabolites, including those such as asparagine, fructose, glucose, that are important tuber quality, offering considerable scope for selecting germplasm...
Chronic neuroinflammation associated with neurodegenerative disorders has been reported to be prevented by dietary components. Particularly, (poly)phenols have identified as having anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective actions, their ingestion is considered a major preventive factor for such disorders. To assess the relation between (poly)phenol classes bioactivity, we used five different raspberry genotypes, which were markedly in profiles within similar matrix. In addition,...
