Fatty acids (FAs) play vital roles in plants as components of lipid membranes that demarcate
cells and organelles, as sources of stored energy in the form of neutral lipids, and as …

Increasing the sunflower seed oil content as well as improving its quality makes it
compatible for industrial demands. This is an important breeding objective of sunflower …

Cutin and wax are the main precursors of the cuticle that covers the aerial parts of plants and
provide protection against biotic and abiotic stresses. Long-chain acyl-CoA synthetases …

In plants, Long-chain acyl-CoA synthetases (LACSs) play key roles in activating fatty acids to
fatty acyl-CoA thioesters, which are then further involved in lipid synthesis and fatty acid …

Abstract Background Manchurian walnut (Juglans mandshurica Maxim.) is a tree with
multiple industrial uses and medicinal properties in the Juglandaceae family (walnuts and …

Background The mechanism by which plants synthesize and store high amounts of
triacylglycerols (TAG) in tissues other than seeds is not well understood. The …

Abstract Background Triacylglycerols (TAGs) are the main composition of plant seed oil.
Long-chain acyl-coenzyme A synthetases (LACSs) catalyze the synthesis of long-chain acyl …

To protect plants against biotic and abiotic stress, the waxy cuticle must coat all epidermis
cells. Here, two independent approaches addressed whether cell‐type‐specific differences …

Cotton (Gossypium spp.) is the fifth largest oil crop in the world, and cottonseed provides
abundant vegetable oil resources and industrial bioenergy fuels for people; therefore, it is of …

Plants use fatty acids to synthesize acyl lipids for many different cellular, physiological, and
defensive roles. These roles include the synthesis of essential membrane, storage, or …
