ONION2 Fatty Acid Elongase is Required for Shoot Development in Rice
Organisms are covered extracellularly with cuticular waxes that consist of various fatty acids. In higher plants, extracellular waxes act as indispensable barriers to protect the plants from physical and biological stresses such as drought and pathogen attacks. However, the effect of fatty acid composition on plant development under normal growth conditions is not well understood. Here we show ...
متن کاملThe fatty acid elongase NOA is necessary for viability and has a somatic role in Drosophila sperm development.
The essential gene noa (CG 3971; also known as Baldspot) encodes a very long chain fatty acid elongase which is most similar to the mammalian elongase ELOVL6. noa is expressed in the nervous system from embryogenesis on, in imaginal discs, the fat body, malpighian tubules and in the gonads of both sexes. Its function is dose dependent, since reduced levels of noa RNA lead to impaired motility a...
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 کاملThe fatty acid elongase Bond is essential for Drosophila sex pheromone synthesis and male fertility
Insects use a spectacular variety of chemical signals to guide their social behaviours. How such chemical diversity arises is a long-standing problem in evolutionary biology. Here we describe the contribution of the fatty acid elongase Bond to both pheromone diversity and male fertility in Drosophila. Genetic manipulation and mass spectrometry analysis reveal that the loss of bond eliminates th...
