In order to study Brassica napus fatty acid (FA) metabolism and relevant regulatory
networks, a systematic identification of fatty acid (FA) biosynthesis-related genes was …

Key message In this manuscript, we explored the key molecular networks for oil biosynthesis
with the transcriptome and metabolome of B. napus embryo at different developmental …

Brassica napus seed is a lipid storage organ containing approximately 40% oil, while its
leaves contain many kinds of lipids for many biological roles, but the overall amounts are …

Production of vegetable oils is a vital agricultural resource and oilseed rape (Brassica
napus) is the third most important oil crop globally. Although the regulation of lipid …

Abstract Background Rapeseed (B. napus, AACC, 2n= 38) is one of the most important oil
seed crops in the world, it is also one of the most common oil for production of biodiesel. Its …

In plants, the enzymes fatty acid dehydrogenase 2 (FAD2) and fatty acid elongase 1 (FAE1)
have been shown in previous studies to play important roles in the de novo biosynthesis of …

Fatty acids and their composition in seeds determine oil value for nutritional or industrial
purposes and also affect seed germination as well as seedling establishment. To better …

Background The investigation of molecular mechanisms involved in lipid metabolism plays a
critical role for the genetic engineering of safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) to increase the …

Approximately 5,000 plaques derived from a Brassica napus L.(canola) seed-cDNA library
representing 15 days after pollination (DAP) were differentially screened for highly …

Background Brassica napus is an important oilseed crop providing high-quality vegetable
oils for human consumption and non-food applications. However, the regulation between …
