Vision, challenges and opportunities for a Plant Cell Atlas Open
Note: for full list of Plant Cell Atlas Consortium, see publication (p17). With growing populations and pressing environmental problems, future economies will be increasingly plant-based. Now is the time to reimagine plant science as a cri…

Cellular Plasticity in Response to Suppression of Storage Proteins in the <i>Brassica napus</i> Embryo Open
The tradeoff between protein and oil storage in oilseed crops has been tested here in oilseed rape (Brassica napus) by analyzing the effect of suppressing key genes encoding protein storage products (napin and cruciferin). The pheno…

The biochemistry of headgroup exchange during triacylglycerol synthesis in canola Open
SUMMARY Many pathways of primary metabolism are substantially conserved within and across plant families. However, significant differences in organization and fluxes through a reaction network may occur, even between plants in closely rela…

Identification, characterization and field testing of <i>Brassica napus</i> mutants producing high‐oleic oils Open
Summary Producing healthy, high‐oleic oils and eliminating trans ‐fatty acids from foods are two goals that can be addressed by reducing activity of the oleate desaturase, FAD 2, in oilseeds. However, it is essential to understand the cons…

Increase of Rapeseed Oil Yield Using a Systems Biology Approach Open
This project aims to develop the knowledge and skills required for obtaining increased amounts of plant oils for the production of biofuel. The systems-oriented analysis of the developing seed has a clear focus on storage metabolism and ca…

Type 1 diacylglycerol acyltransferases of<i>Brassica napus</i>preferentially incorporate oleic acid into triacylglycerol Open
DGAT1 enzymes (acyl-CoA:diacylglycerol acyltransferase 1, EC 2.3.1.20) catalyse the formation of triacylglycerols (TAGs), the most abundant lipids in vegetable oils. Thorough understanding of the enzymology of oil accumulation is critical …

Quantitative Multilevel Analysis of Central Metabolism in Developing Oilseeds of Oilseed Rape during in Vitro Culture Open
Seeds provide the basis for many food, feed, and fuel products. Continued increases in seed yield, composition, and quality require an improved understanding of how the developing seed converts carbon and nitrogen supplies into storage. Cu…

Omics-directed Reverse Genetics Enables the Creation of New Productivity Traits for the Vegetable Oil Crop Canola Open
Bayer CropScience is a leader in the oilseed rape seeds business with a 2013 market share of 50% in Canada, based on the creation and use of a unique hybridization system enabling the development of high-yielding canola (B.napus) InVigor® …
