Abstract Background Hickory (Carya cathayensis Sarg.) accumulates more than 70% oil and
90% unsaturated fatty acids with considerably high oleic acid in its mature embryo. The …

Abstract Hickory (Carya cathayensis Sarg.) is an extraordinary nut-bearing deciduous arbor
with high content of oil in its embryo. However, the molecular mechanism underlying high oil …

Pecan (Carya illinoinensis) is an important woody tree species because of the high content
of healthy oil in its nut. Thus far, the pathways and key genes related to oil biosynthesis in …

Carya cathayensis, commonly referred to as Chinese hickory, produces nuts that contain
high-quality edible oils, particularly oleic acid (18: 1). It is known that stearoyl-ACP …

Walnut (Juglans regia L.) is a widely cultivated woody oilseed tree species, and its embryo is
rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids. Thus far, the pathways and essential genes involved in oil …

Walnut (Juglans regia L.) is an important woody oilseed tree species due to its commercial
value. However, the regulation mechanism of walnut oil accumulation is still poorly …

Background Camelina sativa is an emerging dedicated oilseed crop designed for biofuel
and biodiesel applications as well as a source for edible and general-purpose oils. Such …

Camellia oleifera is a major tree species for producing edible oil. Its seed oil is well known
for the high level of oleic acids; however, little is known regarding the molecular mechanism …

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

Yellowhorn (Xanthoceras sorbifolium) is an oil-bearing tree species growing naturally in
poor soil. The kernel of yellowhorn contains valuable fatty acids like nervonic acid. However …
