Article Synopsis
- Photosynthetic microalgae possess significant potential as eco-friendly production systems for valuable natural products like terpenoids.
- The research focuses on engineering a specific microalga to produce casbene, an important precursor for medicinal compounds, by manipulating its genes and targeting specific enzymes.
- The successful modifications resulted in enhanced yields of casbene, providing a foundation for future advancements in producing complex plant-derived compounds using microalgae.
The circadian clock is an internal molecular oscillator and coordinates numerous physiological processes through regulation of molecular pathways. Tissue-specific clocks connected by mobile signals have previously been found to run at different speeds in tissues. However, tissue variation in circadian clocks in crop species is unknown.

We observed that fatty acid desaturases (FADs) involved in LC-PUFA biosynthesis were among the strongest blue light-induced genes in N. oceanica CCMP1779.

To facilitate community-based annotation and mining of the rapidly accumulating functional genomics resources, we have initiated an international consortium and present a comprehensive multi-omics resource database named Nannochloropsis Design and Synthesis (NanDeSyn; http://nandesyn.single-cell.
