Journal ArticleDOI
An alternative to fish oils: Metabolic engineering of oil-seed crops to produce omega-3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids.
TL;DR: This review will outline the recent achievements in demonstrating the production of omega-3 VLC-PUFAs in transgenic plants, and consider how these enriched oils will allow the development of nutritionally-enhanced food products, suitable either for direct human ingestion or for use as an animal feedstuff.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reduced expression of FatA thioesterases in Arabidopsis affects the oil content and fatty acid composition of the seeds
Antonio J. Moreno-Pérez,Mónica Venegas-Calerón,Fabián E. Vaistij,Joaquín J. Salas,Tony R. Larson,Rafael Garcés,Ian A. Graham,Enrique Martínez-Force +7 more
TL;DR: A reverse genomic approach has been used to study the FatA thioesterase in seed oil accumulation by screening different mutant collections of Arabidopsis thaliana for FatA knockouts and found similarities between these two mutants and the origin of their phenotype.
Journal ArticleDOI
The synthesis and accumulation of stearidonic acid in transgenic plants: a novel source of 'heart-healthy' omega-3 fatty acids
Noemi Ruiz-Lopez,Richard P. Haslam,Mónica Venegas-Calerón,Tony R. Larson,Ian A. Graham,Johnathan A. Napier,Olga Sayanova +6 more
TL;DR: Detailed lipid analysis revealed the accumulation of stearidonic acid in neutral lipids such as triacylglycerol but an absence from the acyl-CoA pool, suggesting this nutritionally enhanced linseed oil may have superior health-beneficial properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
An integrative “omics” approach identifies new candidate genes to impact aroma volatiles in peach fruit
Gerardo Sánchez,Mónica Venegas-Calerón,Joaquín J. Salas,Antonio J. Monforte,María Luisa Badenes,Antonio Granell +5 more
TL;DR: A set of genes (an alcohol acyl transferase, fatty acid desaturases, transcription factors, protein kinases, cytochromes, etc.) are highly associated with peach fruit volatiles, and which could prove useful in breeding or for biotechnological purposes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhancing the accumulation of omega-3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids in transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana via iterative metabolic engineering and genetic crossing
Noemi Ruiz-Lopez,Richard P. Haslam,Mónica Venegas-Calerón,Mónica Venegas-Calerón,Tianbi Li,Joerg Bauer,Johnathan A. Napier,Olga Sayanova +7 more
TL;DR: Three different transgenic configurations of the biosynthetic pathway for eicosapentaenoic acid are compared, using lipidomic profiling to identify metabolic bottlenecks and the unexpected channeling of heterologous C20 polyunsaturated fatty acids into minor phospholipid species is shown.
