Engineering Oilseeds for Industry
Over the last century the world has become dependant on fossil fuels as the primary source of hydrocarbons for energy and industry. These resources are finite and non renewable and their exploitation releases massive amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. The identification of sustainable replacements has been an ongoing area of research for many years. Plant triacylglycerol (TAG) oils ...
متن کاملDevelopment and potential of genetically engineered oilseeds
Oilseed crops are major sources of oils for human nutrition, and an increasing proportion is also being utilized for industrial purposes. Recent advances in our understanding of the basic biochemistry of seed oil biosynthesis, coupled with identification of genes for oilseed modification, have set the stage for the genetic engineering of oilseed crops that produce ‘designer’ plant seed oils tai...
متن کاملOccurrence of aflatoxins in oilseeds providing cocoa-butter substitutes.
Four oilseeds providing cocoa-butter substitutes--shea, pentadecima, illipe, and salseed--when tested as substrates for aflatoxin production by two strains of Aspergillus parasiticus, gave varying levels of aflatoxin. Aflatoxins were found at low levels occurring naturally in moldy shea-nuts, but none of 21 commercial shea-nut samples contained greater than 20 micrograms of aflatoxin B1 per kg.
متن کاملComparative deep transcriptional profiling of four developing oilseeds
Transcriptome analysis based on deep expressed sequence tag (EST) sequencing allows quantitative comparisons of gene expression across multiple species. Using pyrosequencing, we generated over 7 million ESTs from four stages of developing seeds of Ricinus communis, Brassica napus, Euonymus alatus and Tropaeolum majus, which differ in their storage tissue for oil, their ability to photosynthesiz...
متن کاملCarbon dioxide concentrations are very high in developing oilseeds.
A new method has been developed to rapidly determine the total inorganic carbon concentration (gaseous [CO2] + aqueous [CO(2)] + [HCO3-] + [CO3(2)-]) in developing seeds. Seeds are rapidly dissected and homogenized in 1 N HCl in gas-tight vials. The headspace gas is then analyzed by infrared gas analysis. Developing rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) and soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] seeds were an...
