Tomato Sterol 22-desaturase Gene CYP710A11: Its Roles in Meloidogyne incognita Infection and Plant Stigmasterol Alteration

open access: yes, 2022
Sterols are isoprenoid-derived lipids that play essential structural and functional roles in eukaryotic cells. Plants produce a complex mixture of sterols, and changes in plant sterol profiles have been linked to plant–pathogen interactions. β-

Determination of Stigmasterol in Jatropha Seed Oil by High Performance Liquid Chromatography

open access: yes, 2011
A simple and rapid high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) assay was developed to identify and measure the stigmasterol in jatropha seed oil. The stigmasterol was isolated with a good selectivity by HPLC employing reversed phase C18 columns.
