Soybean is a major oil crop and is also a dominant source of nutritional protein. The 20%
seed oil content (SOC) of soybean is much lower than that in most oil crops and the fatty acid …

Soybean is an excellent source of high quality protein and vegetable oil for human and
animals. The diverse and increasing demands for soybean have created enough …

Central metabolism produces amino and fatty acids for protein and lipids that establish seed
value. Biosynthesis of storage reserves occurs in multiple organelles that exchange central …

Germinated flaxseed (Linum usitatissimum L.) is an essential potential food ingredient, but
the major energy substances (proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates) metabolites and …

Monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL) involved in regulating plant growth and development and
stress responses, hydrolyzes monoacylglycerol (MAG) into free fatty acid and glycerol, which …

Triacylglycerol (TAG), which is a neutral lipid, has a structure in which three molecules of
fatty acid (FA) are ester-bonded to one molecule of glycerol. TAG is important energy source …

Physaria fendleri is a burgeoning oilseed crop that accumulates the hydroxy fatty acid (HFA),
lesquerolic acid, and can be a non-toxic alternative crop to castor for production of …

Seed development, dormancy, and germination are connected with changes in metabolite
levels. Not surprisingly, a complex regulatory network modulates biosynthesis and …

Typical plant membranes and storage lipids are comprised of five common fatty acids yet
over 450 unusual fatty acids accumulate in seed oils of various plant species. Plant oils are …

Plants produce energy-dense lipids from carbohydrates using energy acquired via
photosynthesis, making plant oils an economically and sustainably attractive feedstock for …
