biosynthesis. However, GPAT members and their functions remain poorly understood in …

Perilla (Perilla frutescens) is a potential specific oilseed crop with an extremely high α-
linolenic acid (ALA) content in its seeds. AP2/ERF transcription factors (TFs) play important …

Omega-3 fatty acid desaturase (ω-3 FAD, D15D) is a key enzyme for α-linolenic acid (ALA)
biosynthesis. Both chia (Salvia hispanica) and perilla (Perilla frutescens) contain high levels …

Abstract α-linolenic acid (ALA) deficiency and a skewed ω6: ω3 fatty acid ratio in the diet are
thought to be a major cause for the high incidence of cardiovascular, inflammatory, and …

Background Perilla frutescens is well known for its high α-linolenic acid (ALA) accumulation
in seeds and medicinal values as well as a source of edible and general-purpose oils …

Key message We described identification, expression, subcellular localization, and functions
of genes that encode fatty acid desaturase enzymes in Perilla frutescens var. frutescens …
