In order to enhance post-germinative vigour, somatic embryos of Picea glauca (Moench) Voss. were matured under in-vitro conditions that stimulated triacylglycerol (TAG) biosynthesis. In P. glauca seeds over 90% of the TAG was stored within the megagametophyte, and isolated zygotic embryos contained
Edible conifer seeds can serve as a source of triacylglycerols (TGs) with unusual Delta5 unsaturated polymethylene interrupted fatty acids (UPIFAs), such as cis-5,9-octadecadienoic (taxoleic), cis-5,9,12-octadecatrienoic (pinolenic), cis-5,11-eicosadienoic (keteleeronic) and
Lipids are important components in human nutrition; however, their increased intake contributes to the development of obesity and can lead to multiple long-term complications. Pancreatic lipase (triacylglycerol acylhydrolase, EC 3.1.1.3) is a key enzyme for the absorption of dietary triglycerides.
Accumulation of oil bodies was successfully induced in a microalga, Chlorella sp., cultured in a nitrogen-limited medium. The oil bodies were initially assembled as many small entities (mostly 0.1-1 μm), and lately found as a major irregular compartment (>3 μm) occupying more than half of the cell
