Lipids and fatty acids play crucial roles in plant immunity, which have been highlighted over
the past few decades. An increasing number of studies have shown that these molecules …

Fatty acid desaturases perform a key role in the maintenance of cell membrane
homeostasis. They convert fatty acids of membrane lipids from saturated to unsaturated. The …

Understanding the changes in peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) anther lipidome under heat
stress (HT) will aid in understanding the mechanisms of heat tolerance. We profiled the …

Grapevine downy mildew, caused by the biotrophic oomycete Plasmopara viticola, is one of
the most severe and devastating diseases in viticulture. Unravelling the grapevine defence …

Sesame, one of the ancient oil crops, is an important oilseed due to its nutritionally rich
seeds with high protein content. Genomic scale information for sesame has become …

The synthesis of α-linolenic acid (ALA) requires the activity of ω-3 fatty acid desaturases (ω-3
FADs). The quality of peanut oil would be much improved if the content of ALA could be …

Modern peanut contains fatty acid desaturase 2 (FAD 2) mutation, which is capable of
producing high oleic acid for human health. However, the dynamic changes of the lipidome …

Delta-12 fatty acid desaturases (FAD2s) actively regulate stress responses and cell
differentiation in living organisms. In this study, six homologous FAD2 genes were identified …

Fatty acid desaturase (FAD) is critical for unsaturated fatty acids (UFAs) biosynthesis and
plays crucial roles in plants' response to low temperature. Nevertheless, a comprehensive …

With a steadily increasing population, the demand for crops to feed the world population and
satisfy the energy needs is also increasing. The diminishing land resources and changing …
