Download or read book Plant Lipid Metabolism written by J.C. Kader and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-18 with total page 598 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of papers that comprehensively describe the major areas of research on lipid metabolism of plants. State-of-the-art knowledge about research on fatty acid and glycerolipid biosynthesis, isoprenoid metabolism, membrane structure and organization, lipid oxidation and degradation, lipids as intracellular and extracellular messengers, lipids and environment, oil seeds and gene technology is reviewed. The different topics covered show that modern tools of plant cellular and molecular biology, as well as molecular genetics, have been recently used to characterize several key enzymes of plant lipid metabolism (in particular, desaturases, thioesterases, fatty acid synthetase) and to isolate corresponding cDNAs and genomic clones, allowing the use of genetic engineering methods to modify the composition of membranes or storage lipids. These findings open fascinating perspectives, both for establishing the roles of lipids in membrane function and intracellular signalling and for adapting the composition of seed oil to the industrial needs. This book will be a good reference source for research scientists, advanced students and industrialists wishing to follow the considerable progress made in recent years on plant lipid metabolism and to envision the new opportunities offered by genetic engineering for the development of novel oil seeds.

Download or read book Industrial Oil Crops written by Thomas McKeon and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2016-02-24 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Industrial Oil Crops presents the latest information on important products derived from seed and other plant oils, their quality, the potential environmental benefit, and the latest trends in industrial uses. This book provides a comprehensive view of key oil crops that provide products used for fuel, surfactants, paints and coatings, lubricants, high-value polymers, safe plasticizers and numerous other products, all of which compete effectively with petroleum-derived products for quality and cost. Specific products derived from oil crops are a principle concern, and other fundamental aspects of developing oil crops for industrial uses are also covered. These include improvement through traditional breeding, and molecular, tissue culture and genetic engineering contributions to breeding, as well as practical aspects of what is needed to bring a new or altered crop to market. As such, this book provides a handbook for developing products from renewable resources that can replace those currently derived from petroleum. Led by an international team of expert editors, this book will be a valuable asset for those in product research and development as well as basic plant research related to oil crops. Up-to-date review of all the key oilseed crops used primarily for industrial purposes Highlights the potential for providing renewable resources to replace petroleum derived products Comprehensive chapters on biodiesel and polymer chemistry of seed oil Includes chapters on economics of new oilseed crops, emerging oilseed crops, genetic modification and plant tissue culture technology for oilseed improvement

Download or read book Brassica Oilseeds written by D. S. Kimber and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1995 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brassica oilseeds are one of the few edible oil crops that can be cultivated in the temperate zones of the world, at higher elevations and as winter crops. This comprehensive volume encompasses research and practice in the production and use of Brassica oilseeds. The first section considers each aspect of the field crop including the importance of plant breeding and biotechnology. The impact of the crop on the surrounding environment is also discussed. The second section covers utilization. This is especially important as rapeseed oil has gained high nutritional status in recent years, and this is considered in relation to the human diet. The use of the meal by-product for animal feeds is also discussed. The oil is also used for industrial purposes and derivatives are used in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. The increased interest in the production and use of biodiesel from Brassica oilseeds is reflected by the inclusion of a chapter on this topic. The contributors are leading specialists from North America, Europe and Australia. The book provides a complete reference resource for students, researchers and practitioners within the disciplines of crop production, plant and food sciences

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Canola (Brassica napus) oil has immense economic value due to its use as food. The production of biodiesel has led to the recent increase in the demand for canola oil, and further reinforced the need to improve the oil content and composition of canola seeds. The content and quality of canola oil is dependent on the process of fatty acid biosynthesis and accumulation of triacylglycerols (TAGs) during seed development. The biochemical pathways leading to the synthesis of fatty acids and TAGs are thoroughly understood, and many of the genes encoding the metabolic enzymes involved in this pathway have been isolated and functionally characterized. Despite comprehensive understanding of fatty acid and TAG biosynthesis, alternate factors and genes involved in the modification of seed oil content and composition are being investigated. This has initiated a new sector of research focusing on a series of transcription factors: LEAFY COTYLEDON1 (LEC1), LEAFY COTYLEDON2 (LEC2), FUSCA3 (FUS3) and WRINKLED1 (WRI1), which play a key role during embryo and seed development. Previous studies in Arabidopsis have demonstrated that the noted transcription factors influence the synthesis and accumulation of oil during seed development. These findings have prompted the design of two studies with the objective of further characterizing the role of these genes. In the first study, a homolog of Arabidopsis LEC1 was isolated from Brassica napus (Bn) microspore derived embryos. BnLEC1 contained the same distinct features identified in LEC1 genes from other plant species. BnLEC1 was inserted into an expression vector, which was subsequently used to transform Arabidopsis plants. The transgenic lines were characterized by differences in seed oil composition, and one line showed a reduction in the number of seeds counted per silique. Expression analysis revealed that the transgene was not expressed in the transgenic lines. To account for the discrepant findings, the possibility of endogenous gene silencing mechanisms suppressing transgene expression has been discussed. As an extension of this research, a second study assessed the differential expression of LEC1, LEC2, FUS3 and WRI1 in double haploid Brassica napus lines characterized by different levels of seed oil content. The expression level of the noted genes was determined at 7, 14, 21 and 28 days after pollination. Numerous changes in the transcript level were observed, but the trends were not consistent among high and low oil content lines.

Download or read book Seed Storage Compounds written by Peter R. Shewry and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seeds have long been harvested as a source of protein, oil, starch, and animal feed. This edited volume brings together authoritative writings on the three groups of seed storage compounds--proteins, lipids, and starch--and offers the most up-to-date account of their structure, biosynthesis, and modes of deposition available. The book also sheds light on compound interactions and on the mechanisms by which plants regulate the partitioning of carbon into lipid or starch. Finally, it discusses opportunities for the genetic engineering of plants either to manipulate the structures of the major seed storage compounds or to produce novel products. The book, which provides a synopsis of the field's exciting new developments not previously brought together in one easily accessible volume, will be of interest to students and researchers of plant physiology and biochemistry.
