Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plants have numerous fatty acid desaturase (FAD) enzymes regulating the unsaturation of fatty acids, which are encoded by a FAD gene family. The FAD2 genes belong to such family and play a vital role in converting monounsaturated oleic acid to polyunsaturated linoleic acid. Oleic acid has the health benefits for humans, such as reduction in cholesterol level, antioxidation property, and industrial benefits like longer shelf life. The development of genotypes with high oleic acid content in seeds has become one of the primary goals in breeding oilseed plants. The identification and characterization of the FAD2 genes in plants have been an important step to better manipulate gene expression to improve the seed oil quality. The induction of mutations in FAD2 genes to reduce FAD2 enzyme activity has been an integral approach to generate genotypes with high oleic acid. This chapter will describe the FAD2 gene family in the model organism soybean and the correction of mutations in FAD2 genes with the increase of oleic acid content. Leveraging advanced research of FAD2 gene family in soybean promotes the study of FAD2 genes in other legume species, including peanut. The future perspectives and challenges associated with mutations in FAD2 genes will be discussed.

Download or read book Soybean Improvement written by Shabir Hussain Wani and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-10-17 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soybean (Glycine max L. (Merr)) is one of the most important crops worldwide. Soybean seeds are vital for both protein meal and vegetable oil. Soybean was domesticated in China, and since last 4-5 decades it has become one of the most widely grown crops around the globe. The crop is grown on an anticipated 6% of the world’s arable land, and since the 1970s, the area in soybean production has the highest percentage increase compared to any other major crop. It is a major crop in the United States, Brazil, China and Argentina and important in many other countries. The cultivated soybean has one wild annual relative, G. soja, and 23 wild perennial relatives. Soybean has spread to many Asian countries two to three thousand years ago, but was not known in the West until the 18th century. Among the various constraints responsible for decrease in soybean yields are the biotic and abiotic stresses which have recently increased as a result of changing climatic scenarios at global level. A lot of work has been done for cultivar development and germplasm enhancement through conventional plant breeding. This has resulted in development of numerous high yielding and climate resilient soybean varieties. Despite of this development, plant breeding is long-term by nature, resource dependent and climate dependent. Due to the advancement in genomics and phenomics, significant insights have been gained in the identification of genes for yield improvement, tolerance to biotic and abiotic stress and increased quality parameters in soybean. Molecular breeding has become routine and with the advent of next generation sequencing technologies resulting in SNP based molecular markers, soybean improvement has taken a new dimension and resulted in mapping of genes for various traits that include disease resistance, insect resistance, high oil content and improved yield. This book includes chapters from renowned potential soybean scientists to discuss the latest updates on soybean molecular and genetic perspectives to elucidate the complex mechanisms to develop biotic and abiotic stress resilience in soybean. Recent studies on the improvement of oil quality and yield in soybean have also been incorporated.

Book Synopsis Oil Crop Genomics by : Huseyin Tombuloglu
Download or read book Oil Crop Genomics written by Huseyin Tombuloglu and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-09-20 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plants are an important source of fats and oils, which are essential for the human diet. In recent years, genomics of oil biosynthesis in plants have attracted great interest, especially in high oil-bearing plants, such as sesame, olive, sunflower, and palm. Considering that, genome sequencing projects of these plants have been undertaken with the help of advanced genomics tools such as next generation sequencing. Several genome sequencing projects of oil crops are in progress and many others are en route. In addition to genome information, advanced genomics approaches are discussed such as transcriptomics, genomics-assisted breeding, genome-wide association study (GWAS), genotyping by sequencing (GBS), and CRISPR. These have all improved our understanding of the oil biosynthesis mechanism and breeding strategies for oil production. There is, however, no book that covers the genomes and genomics of oil crops. For this reason, in this volume we collected the most recent knowledge of oil crop genomics for researchers who study oil crop genomes, genomics, biotechnology, pharmacology, and medicine. This book covers all genome-sequenced oil crops as well as the plants producing important oil metabolites. Throughout this book, the latest genomics developments and discoveries are highlighted as well as open problems and future challenges in oil crop genomics. In doing so, we have covered the state-of-the-art of developments and trends of oil crop genomics.

Download or read book The Effect of Temperature on Fatty Acid Desaturase Gene Expression and Fatty Acid Composition in Developing Soybean Seeds written by and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] is the largest oilseed crop produced and consumed worldwide. As an oilseed, soybean provides high quality protein for livestock and poultry feed, and the oil is used extensively in the cooking and food manufacturing industries across the world. Soybean producers have targeted improved oil traits as a priority area of research to enhance the market share of U.S. soybean. Soybean seed is approximately 18% oil and standard commodity soybean oil is a mixture of five fatty acids; palmitic (11%), stearic (4%), oleic (22%), linoleic (53%), and linolenic (8%). Oils high in monounsaturated fatty acids possess increased oxidative stability which negates the need for hydrogenation and eliminates the production of trans-fats. Food products containing trans-fatty acids are currently a major health concern and as such, soybean breeders and molecular geneticists have been challenged to efficiently alter the fatty acid composition to meet the specific needs of the various industries. Fatty acid desaturases are enzymes responsible for the insertion of double bonds (normally in the Z or cis conformation) into alkyl chains, following the abstraction of two hydrogen atoms. The physical properties and nutritional value of many animal and plant storage lipids are determined by desaturases. The quality of soybean oil is of paramount importance both economically and from a nutritional stand point and depends to a large extent on the ratio of polyunsaturated to monounsaturated fatty acid. Temperature also plays an important role in the final lipid content of oil seed plants. In this study, we designed and used gene-specific primers to the following fatty acid desaturases; stearoyl-ACP desaturase (SACPD), omega-6 fatty acid desaturase (FAD2-1), and omega-3 fatty acid desaturase (FAD3), to characterize soybean varieties. We further determined the effect of temperature on the expression of these desaturase genes by quantifying transcript accumulation at various.

Book Synopsis Genetically Engineered Crops by : National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine
Download or read book Genetically Engineered Crops written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2017-01-28 with total page 607 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Genetically engineered (GE) crops were first introduced commercially in the 1990s. After two decades of production, some groups and individuals remain critical of the technology based on their concerns about possible adverse effects on human health, the environment, and ethical considerations. At the same time, others are concerned that the technology is not reaching its potential to improve human health and the environment because of stringent regulations and reduced public funding to develop products offering more benefits to society. While the debate about these and other questions related to the genetic engineering techniques of the first 20 years goes on, emerging genetic-engineering technologies are adding new complexities to the conversation. Genetically Engineered Crops builds on previous related Academies reports published between 1987 and 2010 by undertaking a retrospective examination of the purported positive and adverse effects of GE crops and to anticipate what emerging genetic-engineering technologies hold for the future. This report indicates where there are uncertainties about the economic, agronomic, health, safety, or other impacts of GE crops and food, and makes recommendations to fill gaps in safety assessments, increase regulatory clarity, and improve innovations in and access to GE technology.

Book Synopsis Use of Genetic Transformation Technology in Oil Crops by : Zhifen Zhang
Download or read book Use of Genetic Transformation Technology in Oil Crops written by Zhifen Zhang and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Genetic transformation technology has been routinely used to produce commercial varieties of soybean, the most important oil crop. In contrast, transformation approaches for sunflower, the fourth most important oil crop, have only been occasionally used in basic research and no commercial transgenic varieties have been released. In part, this situation is due to the lack of reliable and efficient regeneration and transformation methods for sunflower. Using a well-characterized soybean transformation system, a family of soybean promoters associated with early somatic embryo induction was characterized following introduction and tracking of GFP expression in embryogenic tissues and transgenic soybean plants. These promoters displayed tissue specific expression and were active in newly induced soybean somatic embryos. In sunflower, regeneration and transformation methods were studied and improved. Germination of sunflower seeds on a cytokinin-containing medium led to a 6-fold increase in shoot induction from leaf tissues. Use of a short pulse treatment of cotyledon tissue on a shoot induction medium gave more than a 14-fold increase in the numbers of well-developed shoots. A micrografting technique was developed for plant recovery from shoots with over 50% graft survival. Using sunflower cotyledons, a new Agrobacterium-mediated transformation procedure using low inoculum/long co-culture yielded 30x more transgenic shoots than the standard protocol using high inoculum/short co-culture. Expression analysis via qRT-PCR showed lower expression levels of genes related to plant defense response in the explants treated with low inoculum, suggesting that the low inoculum reduced the induction of plant defense, which impacts plant transformation and regeneration. The use of low inoculum/long co-culture has great potential for improving Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of other plant species.
