Discovery of mechanism plants use to change seed oil could impact industrial, food oils

Researchers have discovered a new mechanism of oil biosynthesis and found a way to genetically engineer a type of test plant to more efficiently produce different kinds of seed oil that it otherwise wouldn't make.

'13-C-labeling reveals non-conventional pathways providing carbon for hydroxy fatty acid #synthesis in #Physaria fendleri' - Jean-Christophe Cocuron and Ana Paula Alonso ๐ŸŒผ https://doi.org/10.1093/jxb/erad343

Developing Physaria embryos store 75.2% of the carbon consumed from the media into biomass components, with the following distribution:

๐ŸŸจ 28.0% in fatty acids
๐ŸŸฆ 22.9% in protein
โšช 3.2% in starch
๐ŸŸซ 21.1% in cell wall
โฌœ 24.8% is released as CO2

13C-labeling reveals non-conventional pathways providing carbon for hydroxy fatty acid synthesis in Physaria fendleri

Plastidic malic enzyme provides considerable carbon and reductant for fatty acid synthesis in Physaria embryos. Non-conventional pathways, namely the Rubiscoshu
