Journal ArticleDOI
Evolutionary view of acyl-CoA diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT), a key enzyme in neutral lipid biosynthesis
Andreia Carina Turchetto-Zolet,Felipe dos Santos Maraschin,Guilherme Loss de Morais,Alexandro Cagliari,Claudia Marlise Balbinotti Andrade,Márcia Margis-Pinheiro,Rogério Margis +6 more
TL;DR: The phylogenetic and evolutionary analyses revealed that DGAT1 and DGAT2 evolved separately, with functional convergence, despite their wide molecular and structural divergence.
Journal ArticleDOI
LEC1 sequentially regulates the transcription of genes involved in diverse developmental processes during seed development
Julie M. Pelletier,Raymond W. Kwong,Soomin Park,Brandon H. Le,Russell Baden,Alexandro Cagliari,Meryl Hashimoto,Matthew D. Munoz,Robert L. Fischer,Robert B. Goldberg,John J. Harada +10 more
TL;DR: It is shown that LEC1 transcriptionally regulates genes involved in photosynthesis and other developmental processes in early and maturation genes in late seed development, and strong conservation in the developmental processes and gene networks regulated by L EC1 is demonstrated in two dicotyledonous plants that diverged ∼92 Mya.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biosynthesis of Triacylglycerols (TAGs) in plants and algae
Alexandro Cagliari,Rogério Margis,Felipe dos Santos Maraschin,Andreia Carina Turchetto-Zolet,Guilherme Loss,Márcia Margis-Pinheiro +5 more
TL;DR: The current knowledge of the neutral storage lipids in plants and algae from fatty acid biosynthesis to TAG accumulation is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identifying conserved and novel microRNAs in developing seeds of Brassica napus using deep sequencing.
Ana Paula Korbes,Ronei Dorneles Machado,Frank Guzman,Mauricio Pereira Almerão,Luiz Felipe Valter de Oliveira,Guilherme Loss-Morais,Andreia Carina Turchetto-Zolet,Alexandro Cagliari,Felipe dos Santos Maraschin,Márcia Margis-Pinheiro,Rogério Margis +10 more
TL;DR: A comparative study of the miRNA transcriptome of mature and developing B. napus seeds is presented and provides a basis for future research on individual miRNAs and their functions in embryogenesis, seed maturation and lipid accumulation in B. Napus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Caspases in plants: metacaspase gene family in plant stress responses
David Gabriel dos Santos Fagundes,Bianca Bohn,Caroline Cabreira,Fábio Leipelt,Nathalia Dias,Maria Helena Bodanese-Zanettini,Alexandro Cagliari +6 more
TL;DR: The phylogeny showed that the metacaspases are divided into three principal groups: type I with and without zinc finger domain and type II metacspases, suggesting that these three classes of metACaspases originated in the early stages of Viridiplantae, being the absence of the zinc fingerdomain the ancient condition.
