A combined transcriptomics and lipidomics analysis of subcutaneous, epididymal and mesenteric adipose tissue reveals marked functional differences

open access: yes, 2010
Depot-dependent differences in adipose tissue physiology may reflect specialized functions and local interactions between adipocytes and surrounding tissues.

Role of the tomato MARS1/ROUGH gene encoding a LYSINE‐SPECIFIC HISTONE DEMETHYLASE 1 in adventitious root and fruit skin formation

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
The tomato mars1/rough mutant displays enhanced root regeneration and rough fruits due to ectopic cell proliferation. The causal gene encodes a lysine‐specific histone demethylase that normally maintains gene silencing. Its loss alters histone methylation, upregulating several genes, including those B‐type cyclins involved in tissue‐specific cellular ...

Highly unsaturated fatty acid synthesis in vertebrates: new insights with the cloning and characterization of a delta6 desaturase of Atlantic salmon [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Fish are an important source of the n-3 highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFA), eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and docosahexaenoic (DHA) acids that are crucial to the health of higher vertebrates. The synthesis of HUFA involves enzyme-mediated desaturation, and a

Heat‐evolved coral photosymbionts exhibit dampened stress responses across distinct physiological contexts

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Experimental evolution under elevated temperatures has generated heat‐evolved (HE) strains of Symbiodiniaceae that enhance coral bleaching tolerance. However, the biomolecular mechanisms underlying this resilience remain poorly understood. We conducted a laboratory heat‐stress experiment and applied synchrotron‐based Fourier transform infrared (

Scd-1 deficiency promotes the differentiation of CD8+ T effector

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
The impact of various fatty acid types on adaptive immunity remains uncertain, and their roles remain unelucidated. Stearoyl-CoA desaturase (Scd) is a Δ-9 desaturase, which is a key rate-limiting enzyme for the conversion of saturated fatty acids (SFA ...

Making fish oils in plants: from alpha to omega

open access: yesNew 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.

Live yeast as a possible modulator of polyunsaturated fatty acid biohydrogenation in the rumen [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
In dairy cows, several studies focused on the effects of sodium bicarbonate and fibre on ruminal linoleic acid (c9c12-C18:2) biohydrogenation (BH) whereas literature is scarce about the effect of live yeast, used as a feed additive. The objective of this

Negative Regulators of Rice Agronomic Traits: Functional Insights and Applications in Genome Editing‐Based Breeding

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rice is the staple crop for more than half of the global population, and improving grain yield, grain quality, and stress resistance remain central goals of modern rice breeding. Among current precision breeding strategies, genome editing has created new opportunities for crop improvement, but its success depends heavily on the selection of ...

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

open access: yes, 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 ...
