Key message Two regions located at chromosome A05 and D04 were found to be
significantly associated with 0–0.5 mm and 0.5–2 mm diameter roots, respectively, and two …

The membrane lipids from fast-elongating wild-type cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) fibers at 10
days post-anthesis, wild-type ovules with fiber cells removed, and ovules from the fuzzless …

Production of β‐ketoacyl‐CoA, which is catalyzed by 3‐ketoacyl‐CoA synthase (KCS), is the
first step in very long chain fatty acid (VLCFA) biosynthesis. Here we identified 58 KCS …

Background The low genetic diversity of Upland cotton limits the potential for genetic
improvement. Making full use of the genetic resources of Sea-island cotton will facilitate …

Unsaturated fatty acids are synthesized by fatty acid desaturase in plant, which play an
important role in plant development and defense to abiotic stresses. The key enzymes for …

Abstract Key message qSI07. 1, a major QTL for seed index in cotton, was fine-mapped to a
17.45-kb region, and the candidate gene GhSI7 was verified in transgenic plants. Abstract …

Maize (Zea mays mays) oil is a rich source of polyunsaturated fatty acids (FA s) and energy,
making it a valuable resource for human food, animal feed, and bio‐energy. Although this …

Triacylglycerol (TAG), a main component of oil, is mainly biosynthesized by diacylglycerol
acyltransferase (DGAT), which is critical for oil accumulation in plants. Intensive focus has …

Fructose-1, 6-biphosphate aldolase (FBA) is a multifunctional enzyme in plants, which
participates in the process of Calvin-Benson cycle, glycolysis and gluconeogenesis. Despite …

Unsaturated fatty acids are the main components of vegetable oils. Fatty acid desaturase 2
(FAD2) catalyzes oleic acid (OA) into linoleic acid (LA) transformations, which are essential …
