Effect of Salinity Stress on Growth, Omega-3 Accumulation, and Desaturase Gene Expression in Spirogyra sp.

Hayati Journal of Biosciences
Salinity is well known to enhance omega-3 biosynthesis in marine algae. However, the effect of salinity on freshwater algae, Spirogyra sp., remains unexplored.

Fatty acid desaturases from the microalga Thalassiosira pseudonana

, 2005
Analysis of a draft nuclear genome sequence of the diatom Thalassiosira pseudonana revealed the presence of 11 open reading frames showing significant similarity to functionally characterized fatty acid front-end desaturases.

Overlooked components of lipid metabolism: Odd‐chain polyunsaturated fatty acids in photosynthetic microorganisms

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract This mini‐review examines odd‐carbon polyunsaturated fatty acids (odd‐PUFAs), a rare but biologically significant group of fatty acids in photosynthetic microorganisms. Odd‐PUFAs are straight‐chain fatty acids containing an odd number of carbon atoms and two or more methylene‐interrupted double bonds. They typically account for less than 1% of

Epigenomic Cascades Across Organs in Metabolic Dysfunction–Associated Steatotic Liver Disease: New Therapeutic Horizons

Obesity Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is the most common chronic liver disorder worldwide, affecting approximately one‐third of the population and increasing the risk of severe hepatic and cardiovascular complications.

Unexpected Suppression of Tomato Fruit Cuticle Formation by Overexpression of a Key Cutin Biosynthetic Enzyme

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fruit cuticles regulate the diffusion of water, gases and solutes, functioning as essential protective interfaces against environmental and biotic stresses. Engineering cuticle structure and mechanics therefore represents a promising strategy for improving fruit quality and resilience.

Single‐Cell Transcriptomics Reveals the FA9–VAP Module Regulating Fatty Acid Accumulation in Soybean Seeds

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As a major commercial legume crop, soybean ranks among the world's most significant sources of edible oil and plant protein. We previously identified a SEIPIN homologue (FA9) at the fatty acid 9 locus that promotes fatty acid accumulation in soybean.

The inhibition of T-lymphocyte proliferation by fatty acids is via an eicosanoid-independent mechanism

, 1992
Eicosanoids, in particular prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), are potent inhibitors of a number of immune responses, including lymphocyte proliferation. We have previously shown that fatty acids, especially polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), inhibit mitogen ...

Investigating the Structural and Functional Roles of Conserved Cysteine Residues in Arabidopsis thaliana Fatty-Acid Desaturase 2

, 2023
Plant-generated unsaturated fatty acids (UFAs) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are vital to a plant’s growth and survival through maintenance of plasma membrane fluidity and integrity, in addition to the various functions lipids carry out within ...

Multiplex FAD2/FATB Editing Generates Ultra‐High‐Oleic, Low‐Saturate Soybean With Increased Seed Fatty Acid Content

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oleic acid (18:1), saturated fatty acid (SFA), and polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) levels are important traits for storage stability and edibility. In this study, we aimed to develop high‐oleic soybean (Glycine max) by simultaneously targeting fatty acid desaturase 2 (FAD2) and fatty acyl‐ACP thioesterase B (FATB) gene families using CRISPR ...

Polar Lipid and Fatty Acid Profiles of Oat Groats Substantially Influenced by Field Management: A Comparison of Cultivars, Sowing Times and Fertilizer Composition

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The polar lipids in oat grains are crucial due to their biological functions, nutritional quality, potential use in food flavour and processing, the protection they provide against biotic and abiotic stresses, and their ability to act as cellular signalling molecules.
