Triacylglycerols (TAG) are storage lipids that accumulated in oilseeds to feed the embryo during germination. TAGs synthesized by sequential acylation of glycerol-3P molecule through action acyltransferase enzymes located endoplasmic reticulum. Among these lysophosphatidyl-acyl-CoA (LPAAT) is responsible for sn-2 position TAG, thus partially determining distribution fatty acids within them. In present study, eight genes encoding LPAATs were identified sunflower genome. Two them, HaLPAAT2A...
Long and very long chain fatty alcohols are produced from their corresponding acyl-CoAs through the activity of acyl reductases (FARs). Fatty important components cuticle that protects aerial plant organs, they metabolic intermediates in synthesis wax esters hull sunflower (Helianthus annuus) seeds. Genes encoding 4 different FARs (named HaFAR2, HaFAR3, HaFAR4 HaFAR5) were identified using BLAST, studies showed four genes expressed seed hulls. In this study, structure location FAR proteins...
The high level of consumption processed foods has an effect on human health. doughnuts, pastries, fried chicken, French potatoes, snack chips, and imitation cheese is among teenagers. These are generally rich in fats, although the focus often been quantity rather than quality these fats. products contain saturated trans fatty acids, which have adverse effects triglycerides cholesterol levels raise lipoprotein(a) plasma. modifications associated with risk developing certain health conditions,...
