Combinatorial Effects of Fatty Acid Elongase Enzymes on Nervonic Acid Production in Camelina sativa
Very long chain fatty acids (VLCFAs) with chain lengths of 20 carbons and longer provide feedstocks for various applications; therefore, improvement of VLCFA contents in seeds has become an important goal for oilseed enhancement. VLCFA biosynthesis is controlled by a multi-enzyme protein complex referred to as fatty acid elongase, which is composed of β-ketoacyl-CoA synthase (KCS), β-ketoacyl-C...
متن کاملEvaluation of Genetic Variation and Parameters of Fatty Acid Profile in Doubled Haploid Lines of Camelina sativa L.
After cereals, oilseeds are the second-largest food reserves in the world. According to available statistics, more than 95 percent of Iran's oil needs are imported. Given the growing need for edible oils in Iran, it is important to identify fatty acids in the oilseed crops. Camelina sativa L. is an oil-medicinal plant and belongs to the Brassicaceae family that requires very little water and fe...
متن کاملDual Fatty Acid Elongase Complex Interactions in Arabidopsis
Very long chain fatty acids (VLCFAs) are involved in plant development and particularly in several cellular processes such as membrane trafficking, cell division and cell differentiation. However, the precise role of VLCFAs in these different cellular processes is still poorly understood in plants. In order to identify new factors associated with the biosynthesis or function of VLCFAs, a yeast ...
متن کاملEnzymes of Fatty Acid Metabolism
The mechanism of the biological oxidation and synthesis of fatty acids has largely been elucidated during the past few years through work in several laboratories (l-7). This work resulted in the complete confirmation of Knoop’s B oxidation theory and of the main conclusions derived from the early work of Dakin and Embden. Perhaps one of the most important aspects of the recent work is the demon...
