Journal ArticleDOI
Fatty acid elongation is important in the activity of thiocarbamate herbicides and in safening by dichlormid
TL;DR: The effects on fatty acid elongation mimicked the differential safening action of dichlormid observed on shoot elongation and growth in the two species, providing further evidence that inhibition of VLCFA formation is important for the mechanism of action of thiocarbamates.

Journal ArticleDOI
Use of control analysis to study the regulation of plant lipid biosynthesis.
TL;DR: Top-down control analysis is applied to lipid biosynthesis for the first time by using model tissue culture systems from the important oil crops, olive and oil palm, to show that fatty acid biosynthesis has been shown to exert more control than lipid assembly under different experimental conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fatty acid biosynthesis by avocado pear.
TL;DR: Fatty acid synthesis in the avocado (Persea americana) mesocarp is due to three immunologically distinct enzyme systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Informed metabolic engineering of oil crops using control analysis
TL;DR: This review describes experiments using metabolic control analysis on important crops – oil palm, oilseed rape, olive and soybean to provide information for future informed genetic manipulations.
