The alkane-assimilating yeast Yarrowia lipolytica degrades very efficiently hydrophobic
substrates such as n-alkanes, fatty acids, fats and oils for which it has specific metabolic …

From Egyptian mummies to the Chanel n° 5 perfume, fatty aldehydes have long been used
and keep impacting our senses in a wide range of foods, beverages and perfumes. Natural …

In Arabidopsis, jasmonate is required for stamen and pollen maturation. Mutants deficient in
jasmonate synthesis, such as opr3, are male‐sterile but become fertile when jasmonate is …

Abstract Within the Design-Build-Test Cycle for strain engineering, rapid product detection
and selection strategies remain challenging and limit overall throughput. Here we …

Abstract Alcohol oxidases (Alcohol: O 2 Oxidoreductase; EC 1.1. 3. x) are flavoenzymes that
catalyze the oxidation of alcohols to the corresponding carbonyl compounds with a …

In plants, extracellular matrix polymers built from polysaccharides and cuticular lipids have
structural and protective functions. The cuticle is found to be ten times thinner in Arabidopsis …

Recently, the bio‐production of α, ω‐dicarboxylic acids (DCAs) has gained significant
attention, which potentially leads to the replacement of the conventional petroleum‐based …

Nine potential (fatty) alcohol dehydrogenase genes and one alcohol oxidase gene were
identified in Yarrowia lipolytica by comparative sequence analysis. All relevant genes were …

Capsaicinoids responsible for pungency of chili pepper are synthesized exclusively in the
placenta tissue of the fruit. As an elementary step in the molecular genetics study of …

Background Sunflower is an important oilseed crop domesticated in North America
approximately 4000 years ago. During the last century, oil content in sunflower was under …
