Linum usitatissimum FAD2A and FAD3A enhance seed polyunsaturated fatty acid accumulation and seedling cold tolerance in Arabidopsis thaliana

Plant Science, 2021
Flax (Linum usitatissimum) seed oil is rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), particularly linolenic acid, which is converted from linoleic acid. Studies have indicated that the biosynthesis of linoleic acid and linolenic acid is controlled by FAD2 and FAD3, respectively.

New Alleles of FAD3A Lower the Linolenic Acid Content of Soybean Seeds

Crop Science, 2018
Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] is one of the most important sources of plant‐based oil worldwide. Linolenic acid is associated with undesirable flavors and poor stability in soybean oil. Partial hydrogenation is typically used to reduce the levels of linolenic acid in soybean oil; however, this process results in the production of trans fatty acids ...
