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 ...

Rapid induction of microsomal delta 12(omega 6)-desaturase activity in chilled Acanthamoeba castellanii.

, 1993
The activity of microsomal delta 12-desaturase in Acanthamoeba castellanii was increased after growing cultures were chilled from the optimal growth temperature (30 degrees C) to 15 degrees C.

Tissue-specific, nutritional, and developmental regulation of rat fatty acid elongases

Journal of Lipid Research, 2005
Of the six fatty acid elongase (Elovl) subtypes expressed in mammals, adult rat liver expresses four subtypes: Elovl-5 > Elovl-1 = Elovl-2 = Elovl-6. Overnight starvation and fish oil-enriched diets repressed hepatic elongase activity in livers of adult ...

Systemic and heart autonomous effects of sphingosine Δ4 desaturase deficiency in lipotoxic cardiac pathophysiology

Disease Models & Mechanisms, 2020
Lipotoxic cardiomyopathy (LCM) is characterized by cardiac steatosis, including the accumulation of fatty acids, triglycerides and ceramides. Model systems have shown the inhibition of ceramide biosynthesis to antagonize obesity and improve insulin ...

Relationship between Body Mass Index, C-Peptide, and Delta-5-Desaturase Enzyme Activity Estimates in Adult Males. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Obesity, in particular abdominal obesity, alters the composition of plasma and tissue fatty acids (FAs), which contributes to inflammation and insulin resistance.

Markedly different fatty acid desaturase activity was seen in patients with various rs-1535 genotypes.

, 2019
Fatty acid desaturase activity was assessed by the ArA/LA ratio in red blood cell membrane assay. Note that patients with GG alleles have diminished ArA/LA ratio consistent with reduced fatty acid desaturase activity.

Functional identification of a fatty acid Δ5 desaturase gene from Caenorhabditis elegans [PDF]

, 1998
We have identified a cDNA from the nematode worm Caenorhabditis elegans that encodes a fatty acid Δ5 desaturase. Saccharomyces cerevisiae expressing the full-length cDNA was able to convert di-homo-γ-linolenic acid to arachidonic acid, thus confirming Δ5

Activity of Δ9-desaturase enzyme in mammary gland of lactating buffaloes

Italian Journal of Animal Science, 2010
The objective of this research was to measure the activity of Δ9-desaturase enzyme in lactating buffaloes. Data from forty lactating Murrah-crossbred buffaloes were collected on five commercial farms located at Sarapui and Pilar do Sul, Sao Paulo ...

Functional identification of a delta8-sphingolipid desaturase from Borago officinalis

, 2001
The similarities between Δ12- and Δ15-fatty acyl desaturase sequences were used to construct degenerate primers for PCR experiments with cDNA transcribed from mRNA of developing borage seeds.

Effect of weight loss on circulating fatty acid profiles in overweight subjects with high visceral fat area: a 12-week randomized controlled trial

Nutrition Journal, 2018
Background Significant associations between visceral fat and alterations in plasma fatty acids have been identified in overweight individuals. However, there are scant data regarding the relationships of the visceral fat area (VFA) with the plasma fatty ...
