Flavonoids are representative plant secondary products. In the model plant Arabidopsis
thaliana, at least 54 flavonoid molecules (35 flavonols, 11 anthocyanins and 8 …

Biotin-dependent carboxylases include acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC), propionyl-CoA
carboxylase (PCC), 3-methylcrotonyl-CoA carboxylase (MCC), geranyl-CoA carboxylase …

Chloroplasts contain high amounts of monogalactosyldiacylglycerol (MGDG) and
digalactosyldiacylglycerol (DGDG) and low levels of the anionic lipids …

With the emergence of high‐throughput methods in plant biology, the importance of long‐
term projects characterized by incremental advances involving multiple laboratories can …

We describe here the diversity of chloroplast proteins required for embryo development in
Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). Interfering with certain chloroplast functions has long …

In many higher plants, seed oil accumulation is precisely controlled by intricate multilevel
regulatory networks, among which transcriptional regulation mainly influences oil …

Brassica napus is one of the important oil crops grown worldwide, and oil quality
improvement is a major goal in rapeseed breeding. Yellow seed is an excellent trait, which …

The enzyme acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase) catalyzes the committed step of the de novo
fatty acid biosynthesis (FAS) pathway by converting acetyl-CoA to malonyl-CoA. Two forms …

A highly negative glutathione redox potential (EGSH) is maintained in the cytosol, plastids
and mitochondria of plant cells to support fundamental processes, including antioxidant …

Brassica oilseed species are the third most important in the world, providing approximately
15% of the total vegetable oils. Three species (Brassica rapa, B. juncea, B. napus) dominate …
