Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) oil is a complex mixture of five fatty acids (palmitic,
stearic, oleic, linoleic, and linolenic). The high content of linoleic acid (LA) contributes to the …

Abstract Acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase) catalyzes acetyl-CoA to produce malonyl-CoA,
which is the essential first step in the biosynthesis of de novo fatty acids. The heteromeric …

As an important forage legume in the world, alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) has high
adaptability to various unfavorable climatic conditions and high biomass, and have been …

Soybean (Glycine max) produces seeds that are rich in unsaturated fatty acids and is an
important oilseed crop worldwide. Seed oil content and composition largely determine the …

Flowering time (FTi) is a major factor determining how quickly cotton plants reach maturity.
Early maturity greatly affects lint yield and fiber quality and is crucial for mechanical …

The unique feature of the seed of tetraploid cotton (Gossypium hirsutum and Gossypium
barbadense) is that about 30% of the seed coat epidermal cells develop into cellulose …

Ketoacyl-CoA synthase catalyses the initial condensation reaction during fatty acid
elongation using malonyl-CoA and long-chain acyl-CoA as substrates. Previously, it was …

Flax (Linum usitatissimum) seed oil is rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs),
particularly linolenic acid, which is converted from linoleic acid. Studies have indicated that …

Abstract Background Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr) is an important source of human food,
animal feed, and bio-energy. Although the genetic network of lipid metabolism is clear in …

Cotton is one of the most important natural fibre resources in the textile industry that has
been cultivated to produce long and spinnable fibres. These cotton fibres are elongated …
