Article Synopsis
- Plants produce fatty acid derivatives that play important roles in their defense mechanisms.
- The study identified and characterized eight FAT genes from tomato and potato, revealing their conserved structures and regulatory functions.
- Knockout experiments using CRISPR/Cas9 on specific FAT genes resulted in notable changes in fatty acid content and reduced leaf features like trichome and stoma density.
This study investigated the laying performance, egg quality, and egg yolk fatty acids (FAs) and cholesterol content in layer hens housed with free access to chicory- and/or white clover-vegetated areas. During a 16-week study, 400 Lohmann Brown hens (32 weeks old) housed with free outdoor access were allocated randomly into four groups, each with four replicates of 25 hens. Control hens were fed a conventional diet with free access to a soil area (C), whereas other hens were fed on a conventional diet with free access to a chicory (CI)- or white clover (TR)-vegetated area or a CI and TR mixture (MIX)-vegetated area.
