Abstract Typical plant membranes and storage lipids are comprised of five common fatty acids yet over 450 unusual accumulate in seed oils various species. Plant important human animal nutrients, while some such as hydroxylated (HFA) used the chemical industry (lubricants, paints, polymers, cosmetics, etc.). Most extracted from non-agronomic crops leading to high production costs. Attempts engineer HFA into unsuccessful due bottlenecks overlapping pathways oil membrane lipid synthesis where...
The triacylglycerols (TAGs; i.e. oils) that accumulate in plants represent the most energy-dense form of biological carbon storage, and are used for food, fuels, chemicals. increasing human population decreasing amount arable land have amplified need to produce plant oil more efficiently. Engineering oils vegetative tissues is a novel strategy, because only large amounts lipids seeds. Recently, tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) leaves were engineered at 15% dry weight due push (increased fatty...
Oilseed plants accumulate triacylglycerol (TAG) up to 80% of seed weight with the TAG fatty acid composition determining its nutritional value or use in biofuel chemical industries. Two major pathways for production diacylglycerol (DAG), immediate precursor TAG, have been identified plants: de novo DAG synthesis and conversion membrane lipid phosphatidylcholine (PC) DAG, each pathway producing distinct compositions. However, neither fits previous biochemical transcriptomic results from...
