Genetic and Molecular Basis of Processing Traits and Genetic Improvement Progress in Major Fruit Crops

Future Postharvest and Food, EarlyView.
Processing quality in fruit crops is governed by complex genetic networks controlling texture, sweetness, color, browning, aroma, and nutritional quality. Advances in genomics, genomic selection, and genome editing enable the development of processing‐oriented cultivars with improved industrial performance, reduced postharvest losses, and enhanced ...

Altered fatty acid composition of Nicotiana benthamiana and Nicotiana excelsior leaves under transient overexpression of the cyanobacterial desC gene

Biologia Plantarum, 2020
Transient heterologous gene expression in two model plant species, Nicotiana benthamiana and N. excelsior, has been used to study the localization of the heterologous Δ9 acyl-lipid desaturase (Δ9 desaturase) of Synechococcus vulcanus in different cell ...

Regulation of human Δ-6 desaturase gene transcription: identification of a functional direct repeat-1 element

Journal of Lipid Research, 2003
The rate-limiting step in 20:4(n-6) and 22:6(n-3) synthesis is the desaturation of 18:2(n-6) and 18:3(n-3) by Δ-6 desaturase. In this report, we demonstrate that n-6 and n-3 PUFAs suppressed the hepatic expression of rodent Δ-6 desaturase by inhibiting ...

Paving the Way for Plant-Based Bioproduction of (Z)-13-Octadecenoic Moth Pheromone Compounds. [PDF]

Plant Biotechnol J
ABSTRACT Sex pheromones are eco‐friendly agents to control pest insects. Yet, the cost of synthetic pheromone production has restricted their use essentially to high value crops. Plant‐based bioproduction of pheromone compounds offers a promising and sustainable alternative, opening up for the deployment of pheromone‐mediated pest control also in row ...

Conjugated linoleic acid supplementation, insulin sensitivity, and lipoprotein metabolism in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. [PDF]

, 2004
BACKGROUND: Some animal studies have suggested that conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) supplementation may have therapeutic potential with respect to insulin sensitivity and lipid metabolism, which are important cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors ...

Distinct roles of endoplasmic reticulum cytochrome b5 and fused cytochrome b5-like domain for rat Δ6-desaturase activity

Journal of Lipid Research, 2004
The Δ6-desaturase catalyzes key steps in long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid biosynthesis. Although the gene coding for this enzyme has been isolated in diverse animal species, the protein structure remains poorly characterized.

Isolation and characterization of a cDNA encoding a delta8 sphingolipid desaturase from Aquilegia vulgaris

, 2002
We have isolated a cDNA encoding the Delta(8) sphingolipid desaturase from the plant Aquilegia vulgaris L. via a PCR-based strategy using primers designed to target the conserved histidine box regions of microsomal desaturases.

Fatty acid profile and estimated desaturase activities in whole blood are associated with metabolic health

Lipids in Health and Disease, 2020
Background The aim was to investigate if fatty acid profile and estimated desaturase activities; stearoyl CoA-desaturase (SCD), delta-5-desaturase and delta-6-desaturase (D5D; D6D), differ between individuals with metabolically healthy (MH) and unhealthy
