(β-ketoacyl-acyl carrier protein (ACP) synthases II), (fatty acid thioesterases), (stearoyl-ACP desaturase), and (fatty acid desaturases) are the vital gene families involved in fatty acid (FA) synthesis in L. However, information on the number and location of these genes and which ones are key to the formation of FAs in fruit seeds and pulp was not complete. Our study aimed to solve this issue using the available genomic sequences and transcriptome data that we obtained.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFFlax seed is one of the richest plant sources of linolenic acid (LIN) and also contains unsaturated linoleic acid (LIO) and oleic acid (OLE). Stearoyl-ACP desaturases (SADs) and fatty acid desaturases (FADs) play key roles in the synthesis of flax fatty acids (FAs). However, there is no holistic view of which genes from the and families and at which developmental stages have the highest expression levels in flax seeds, as well as the influence of genotype and growth conditions on the expression profiles of these genes.
