Reducing the Sinapine Levels of <span> <i>Camelina sativa</i> </span> Seeds Through Targeted Genome Editing of <span> <i>REF1</i> </span> Open
Sinapine ( O ‐sinapoyl choline) is the major phenolic metabolite typically found in the oil‐rich seeds of Brassicaceae such as Camelina sativa and Brassica napus . It imparts a bitter taste to the seeds as a defence mechanism against herbi…

Targeted mutagenesis of FATTY ACID ELONGASE 1 entails near complete elimination of very long chain fatty acids in the seeds of camelina cultivar Ligena Open
Genome editing has the potential to enhance yield and quality traits of crops. However, standard genetic transformation methods are not always applicable to modern germplasm. To tackle this challenge in the widely cultivated variety Ligena…

On the origin of fatty acid biosynthesis in <i>Archaeplastida</i> Open
This article comments on: Sato N, Ikemura E, Uemura M, Awai K. 2025. Genomic and biochemical analyses of lipid biosynthesis in Cyanophora paradoxa: limited role of the chloroplast in fatty acid synthesis. Journal of Experimental Botany 76,…

Wounding Triggers Wax Biosynthesis in <i>Arabidopsis</i> Leaves in an Abscisic Acid–Dependent and Jasmonoyl-Isoleucine-Dependent Manner Open
Wounding caused by insects or abiotic factors such as wind and hail can cause severe stress for plants. Intrigued by the observation that wounding induces expression of genes involved in surface wax synthesis in a jasmonoyl-isoleucine (JA-…

Overexpression of the vacuolar sugar importer <i>Bv</i>TST1 from sugar beet in Camelina improves seed properties and leads to altered root characteristics Open
Overexpression of the vacuolar sugar transporter TST1 in Arabidopsis leads to higher seed lipid levels and higher total seed yield per plant. However, effects on fruit biomass have not been observed in crop plants like melon, strawberry, c…

The glycosyltransferase UGT76E1 significantly contributes to 12-O-glucopyranosyl-jasmonic acid formation in wounded Arabidopsis thaliana leaves Open
Jasmonoyl-isoleucine (JA-Ile) is a phytohormone that orchestrates plant defenses in response to wounding, feeding insects, or necrotrophic pathogens. JA-Ile metabolism has been studied intensively, but its catabolism as a potentially impor…

Natural variation in acyl editing is a determinant of seed storage oil composition Open
Seeds exhibit wide variation in the fatty acid composition of their storage oil. However, the genetic basis of this variation is only partially understood. Here we have used a multi-parent advanced generation inter-cross (MAGIC) population…

Genome Wide Analysis of Fatty Acid Desaturation and Its Response to Temperature Open
Plants modify the polyunsaturated fatty acid content of their membrane and storage lipids in order to adapt to changes in temperature. In developing seeds, this response is largely controlled by the activities of the microsomal ω-6 and ω-3…

Synthesis and transfer of galactolipids in the chloroplast envelope membranes of <i>Arabidopsis thaliana</i> Open
Significance Establishment of the progenitor of chloroplasts by the host plant cell during endosymbiosis required the integration of two sets of biological membranes, the endoplasmic reticulum and the chloroplast envelopes, participating i…

ACYL-ACYL CARRIER PROTEIN DESATURASE2 and 3 Are Responsible for Making Omega-7 Fatty Acids in the Arabidopsis Aleurone Open
Omega-7 monounsaturated fatty acids (ω-7s) are specifically enriched in the aleurone of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) seeds. We found significant natural variation in seed ω-7 content and used a Multiparent Advanced Generation Inter-C…
