▪ Abstract Lipid peroxidation is common to all biological systems, both appearing in
developmentally and environmentally regulated processes of plants. The hydroperoxy …

Metabolomics or the large-scale phytochemical analysis of plants is reviewed in relation to
functional genomics and systems biology. A historical account of the introduction and …

Acyl lipids in Arabidopsis and all other plants have a myriad of diverse functions. These
include providing the core diffusion barrier of the membranes that separates cells and …

In land plants, very-long-chain (VLC) alkanes are major components of cuticular waxes that
cover aerial organs, mainly acting as a waterproof barrier to prevent nonstomatal water loss …

Land plant aerial organs are covered by a hydrophobic layer called the cuticle that serves as
a waterproof barrier protecting plants against desiccation, ultraviolet radiation, and …

Summary Omega‐3 (also called n‐3) long‐chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (≥ C20; LC‐
PUFAs) are of considerable interest, based on clear evidence of dietary health benefits and …

We have engineered the diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum to accumulate the high value
omega-3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). This was …

The seed oils of domesticated oilseed crops are major agricultural commodities that are
used primarily for nutritional applications, but in recent years there has been increasing use …

Triacylglycerol hydrolysis (lipolysis) plays a pivotal role in the life cycle of many plants by
providing the carbon skeletons and energy that drive postgerminative growth. Despite the …

The process of dark-induced senescence in plants is relatively poorly understood, but a
functional electron-transfer flavoprotein/electron-transfer flavoprotein: ubiquinone …
