Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPCase) mainly produces oxaloacetic acid for
tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. Here we reported that GhPEPC2 silencing with PEPC2-RNAi …

Cottonseed oil is recognized as an important oil in food industry for its unique characters:
low flavor reversion and the high level of antioxidants (VitaminE) as well as unsaturated fatty …

Cottonseed oil has become an important source of edible oil due to its significant cost
advantage. However, there is a growing concern over its fatty acid composition and …

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 …

Numerous genes were involved in oil metabolism, transcription factors are the key genes,
such as WRINKLED (AtWRI1, At3g54320) in Arabidopsis. A homolog of AtWRI1, GhWRI1 …

A homologous GhDof1, which belongs to a large family of plant-specific transcription factor
DOF, was isolated from Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.). GhDof1 protein was located …

Cotton is not only the most important fiber crop but also the fifth most important oilseed crop
in the world because of its oil‐rich seeds as a byproduct of fiber production. By comparative …

Phytic acid (PA) is poorly digested by humans and monogastric animals and negatively
affects human/animal nutrition and the environment. Rice mutants with reduced PA content …

The diverse functions of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPCase; EC 4.1. 1.31) in C3
plants are not as well understood as in C4 plants. To investigate the functions of PEPCase in …

To enrich our knowledge about gene network of fatty acid biosynthesis in cottonseed, we
conducted comparative transcriptome to reveal the differences in gene expression between …
