Seed-specific overexpression of AtFAX1 increases seed oil content in Arabidopsis

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2018
Biosynthesis of plant seed oil is accomplished through the coordinate action of multiple enzymes in multiple subcellular compartments. Fatty acid (FA) has to be transported from plastid to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) for TAG synthesis. However, the role of plastid FA transportation during seed oil accumulation has not been evaluated. AtFAX1 (Arabidopsis

Fatty Acid Content of Selected Seed Oils

Journal of Herbal Pharmacotherapy, 2002
Fatty acid content of selected seed oils from world-wide edible fruits, Ceratonia ciliqua (carob) from Caesalpiniaceae family, Diospyros kaki (persimmon) from Ebenaceae family, Zizyphus jujuba (jujube) from Rhamnaceae family, and Persea gratissima (avocado pear) from Lauraceae family, were determined by capillary gas chromatography- mass spectrometry ...

Phytosterol Content in American Ginseng Seed Oil

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2002
North American ginseng (Panax quinquefolium L.) oil was saponifed and the unsaponifiable matter trimethylsilylated. The phytosterol fraction of hexane-extracted, air-dried seed was quantified and identified by GC and GC-MS. Phytosterol contents (milligrams per 100 g of oil) were as follows: squalene (514-569), oxidosqualene (8.97-48.2), campesterol (9 ...

Phytoestrogen Content of Beverages, Nuts, Seeds, and Oils

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2008
Phytoestrogens are secondary plant metabolites that have received increasing attention for their bioactivity, in particular due to their structural and functional similarity to 17beta-estradiol. Although urinary and plasma phytoestrogens can be used as biomarkers for dietary intake, this is often not possible in large epidemiological studies or in the ...

Bioenergetic considerations in the improvement of oil content and quality in oil-seed crops

Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 1979
Production values (PVs), defined as the weight of the end product/weight of the substrate required for carbon skeletons and energy production, were calculated for plant fatty acids. The PVs varied from 0.361 to 0.300 with linolenic acid having the lowest value.

RFLP analysis of soybean seed protein and oil content

Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 1992
The objectives of this study were to present an expanded soybean RFLP map and to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) in soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] for seed protein and oil content. The study population was formed from a cross between a G. max experimental line (A81-356022) and a G. soja Sieb. and Zucc. plant introduction (PI 468916).

Effect of seed roasting on oxidative stability and antioxidant content of hemp seed oil

Journal of Food Science and Technology, 2020
In this study, some chemical components of hemp seed, which widely consumed as snack food in Middle East were determined. The effects of different roasting temperatures (140, 160 and 180 °C) and times (0-60 min) on the oxidative stability and antioxidant content of hemp seed oil were investigated.

The Oil Content of Seeds: An Ecological Perspective

The American Naturalist, 1974
The oil content of seeds (on a percentage dry weight basis) and seed weight are independent variables which reflect the energy capital of the seed. Here, these parameters are related to plant habit and latitudinal zone for over 300 species of the Leguminosae and over 1,000 species of flowering plants as a whole.
