The regulation of microsomal and plastidial oleate desaturases by low and high
temperature, darkness, and wounding was investigated. To this end, their gene expression …

The olive tree lacks dormancy and is low temperature sensitive, with differences in cold
tolerance and oil quality among genotypes. The oil is produced in the drupe, and the …

Virgin olive oil (VOO) is one of the key components of the Mediterranean diet owing to the
presence of monounsaturated fatty acids and various bioactive compounds. These …

In higher plants, the stearoyl-acyl carrier protein desaturase (SAD) catalyzes the first
desaturation step leading to oleic acid, which can be further desaturated to linoleic and α …
