Cottonseed oil is rich in unsaturated fatty acids (UFAs) and serves as an edible oil in human
nutrition. Reports suggest that acyl-coenzyme A: diacylglycerol acyltransferases (DGAT) and …

Diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT) catalyzes the only rate-limiting step in the pathway of
plant oil (TAG) biosynthesis and is involved in plant development. In this study, five DGAT …

Cotton is an economically important crop grown for natural fiber and seed oil production.
Cottonseed oil ranks third after soybean oil and colza oil in terms of edible oilseed tonnage …

As the main byproduct of cotton fiber, the cotton seed yields about 1.6 times that of fiber, with
its oil rich in unsaturated fatty acids, mainly linoleic acid. It is desirable for breeders to …

Edible oils with high unsaturated fatty acids, particularly oleic acid, are beneficial to human
health. Cotton is one of the top five oil crops in the world, but the mechanism of high-quality …

Background Soybean (Glycine max) is a major protein and vegetable oil source. In plants,
diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT) can exert strong flux control, which is rate-limiting for …

Cottonseed oil accumulated dramatically from 20 days post-anthesis (DPA) to 30 DPA in
Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.). To reveal the gene network of oil accumulation and …

Abstract Background Cotton (Gossypium spp.) is the most important natural fiber crop
worldwide, and cottonseed oil is its most important byproduct. Phospholipid: diacylglycerol …

As an important source of edible vegetable oil, cottonseed oil and its fatty acid composition
that determines its nutritional value have attracted growing attention in recent years. For the …

Acyl-CoA: diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT) is a key enzyme in the Kennedy pathway of
triacylglycerol (TAG) synthesis. It catalyzes the acyl-CoA-dependent acylation of sn-1, 2 …
