The Effect of Selenium–Arabinogalactan Nanocomposite on Fatty Acid Composition in Soybean Seedlings Grown from Pectobacterium carotovorum–Infected Seeds [PDF]
PlantsThe phytopathogenic bacterium Pectobacterium carotovorum (Pcc) infects a wide range of crop plants and causes substantial economic losses. The authors of this study previously demonstrated that the selenium–arabinogalactan nanocomposite (Se/AG NC) is ...

The HMG-box protein PtHMG1 modulates lipid accumulation and fatty acid composition in the diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant ScienceIntroductionThe diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum is a premier biological platform for producing high-value polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). However, the transcriptional mechanisms coordinating lipid accumulation and fatty acid composition remain ...

The role of docosahexaenoic acid in neuronal development and the importance of DHA supplementation during pregnancy [PDF]
Farmacja Polska, 2023 Polyunsaturated fatty acids, which include acids from the omega-3 and omega-6 groups, play an important role in the human body. The omega-3 family of acids includes α-linolenic acid (ALA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA).
