Biosynthesis of essential fatty acids in Octopus vulgaris (Cuvier, 1797): Molecular cloning, functional characterisation and tissue distribution of a fatty acyl elongase [PDF]

, 2012
Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) have been identified as key nutrients for the common octopus (Octopus vulgaris), particularly for its early life-cycle stages (paralarvae).

Making fish oils in plants: from alpha to omega

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Schematic representation of the biosynthetic pathway for the synthesis of omega‐3 long‐chain polyunsaturated fatty acids. The sequential transgene‐encoded activities required to convert endogenous fatty acids to the longer chain polyunsaturated forms of eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid are shown in red.

Systems‐Level Plant Responses Reveal Pseudomonas‐Mediated Growth Promotion in Brachypodium Under Nitrogen Limitation

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant growth–promoting bacteria can enhance plant performance under nutrient limitation, yet the underlying plant molecular responses remain incompletely resolved. We investigated growth promotion by Pseudomonas koreensis in Brachypodium distachyon under contrasting nitrogen (N) regimes using time‐resolved phenotyping, elemental analysis ...

Associations Among Fatty Acids, Desaturase and Elongase, and Insulin Resistance in Children

Journal of the American College of Nutrition, 2017
Fatty acid profiles and desaturase (SCD-16, SCD018, D5D, D6D) and elongase (ELOVL6) enzyme activity have been associated with adiposity and metabolic disease. While this has been studied in adults, few studies have included children. The objective of this study was to evaluate these markers in children and identify relationships with markers of ...

Cloning and characterization of a mammalian fatty acyl-CoA elongase as a lipogenic enzyme regulated by SREBPs

Journal of Lipid Research, 2002
The mammalian enzyme involved in the final elongation of de novo fatty acid biosynthesis following the building of fatty acids to 16 carbons by fatty acid synthase has yet to be identified.

Understanding of Molecular Mechanisms and Breeding Strategies for Enhancing Oleic Acid Biosynthesis in Oil Crops

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Oleic acid (C18:1), a monounsaturated fatty acid, is a key determinant of nutritional value and oxidative stability of vegetable oils. Increasing its concentration has therefore become a central objective in oilseed crop improvement. This review summarizes current knowledge on the molecular mechanisms and breeding strategies underlying oleic ...
