Plants modify the polyunsaturated fatty acid content of their membrane and storage lipids in order to adapt changes temperature. In developing seeds, this response is largely controlled by activities microsomal ω-6 ω-3 desaturases, FAD2 FAD3. Although temperature regulation desaturation has been studied at molecular biochemical levels, genetic control trait poorly understood. Here, we have characterized Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) seed variation ambient found that heat inhibits both...
Omega-7 monounsaturated fatty acids (ω-7s) are specifically enriched in the aleurone of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) seeds. We found significant natural variation seed ω-7 content and used a Multiparent Advanced Generation Inter-Cross population to fine-map major quantitative trait loci region containing ACYL-ACYL CARRIER PROTEIN DESATURASE1 (AAD1) AAD3. that AAD3 expression is localized where mutants show an approximately 50% reduction content. By contrast, AAD1 embryo small ω-9...
As glutathione (GSH) plays an essential role in growth and symbiotic capacity of rhizobia, a synthetase (gshB) mutant Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar viciae 3841 (Rlv3841) was characterised. It fails to efficiently utilise various compounds as sole carbon source, including glucose, succinate, glutamine histidine, shows 60%-69% reduction uptake rates succinate the non-metabolisable substrate α-amino isobutyric acid. The defect glucose can be overcome by addition exogenous GSH, indicating but...
