daucus virgatus/triacylglycerol

The triacylglycerol (TAG) structure and the regio-stereospecific distribution of fatty acids (FA) of seed oils from most of the Apiaceae family are not well documented. The TAG structure ultimately determines the final physical properties of the oils and the position of FAs in the TAG molecule

Isolated oleosomes from Daucus carota L. cells are lipid droplets consisting mainly of triacylglycerols (>97%) and very little protein (1-2%). The boundary between the lipid phase and the cytosol, which is visible on electron micrographs, is not built up by a true phospholipid-containing unit or

The lipid pattern of Daucus carota L. suspension culture cells and other plant cell strains was analyzed. Phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol, and triacylglycerol were the main components. The characteristic plastidal and mitochondrial lipids could also be identified.

Studies were conducted to characterize the metabolism of the unusual fatty acid petroselinic acid (18:1cis[delta]6) in developing endosperm of the Umbelliferae species coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) and carrot (Daucus carota L.). Analyses of fatty acid compositions of glycerolipids of these

Genetic variation is the most influential factor for carrot (Daucus carota L.) composition. However, difference in metabolite content between carrot varieties has not been described by NMR, although primary metabolites are important for human health and sensory properties. The aim of the present
