Journal ArticleDOI

Biochemical pathways in seed oil synthesis

TL;DR: Oil produced in plant seeds is utilized as a major source of calories for human nutrition, as feedstocks for non-food uses such as soaps and polymers, and can serve as a high-energy biofuel.
Journal ArticleDOI

Analysis of acyl fluxes through multiple pathways of triacylglycerol synthesis in developing soybean embryos

TL;DR: Almost 60% of the newly synthesized fatty acids first enter glycerolipids through PC acyl editing, largely at the sn-2 position, and recycled acyl groups in the acyl-coenzyme A pool provide most of the acy chains for de novo glycerl-3-phosphate acylation.
Journal ArticleDOI

The significance of different diacylgycerol synthesis pathways on plant oil composition and bioengineering.

TL;DR: Evidence is presented that suggests which pathway of DAG/TAG synthesis is utilized in different plants, and examples of how the endogenous DAG synthesis pathway in a transgenic host plant can produce bottlenecks for engineering of plant oil FA composition, to produce crop plants with designer vegetable oil compositions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Incorporation of newly synthesized fatty acids into cytosolic glycerolipids in pea leaves occurs via acyl editing.

TL;DR: It is proposed that most newly synthesized acyl groups are not immediately utilized for PA synthesis, but instead are incorporated directly into PC through an acyl editing mechanism that operates at both sn-1 and sn-2 positions.
