Identifying and dissecting novel QTL regulating seed fatty acid composition in Arabidopsis thaliana for the improvement of rapeseed oil
… identified by mutation analyses and utilized in oilseed rape (Brassica napus) breeding programs. However the regulation mechanisms of these genes are as yet unknown and pursued by the oil industry for further manipulation of seed oil quality. In order to identify loci involved in such regulatory …

Thymoquinone is a Novel Ligand which Activates Neu4 Sialidase to Promote a Pro-Inflammatory Response
Thymoquinone (TQ), a volatile oil component of black seed oil (derived from Nigella sativa), has been shown to have various biological effects including disease treatment and prevention. TQ is believed to share similar properties to the benzoquinones already in use as therapeutic drugs. Based on …

Determining biological roles of four unique Vernicia fordii acyl-CoA Binding Proteins
High-value industrial oils are essential for many processes and have great economic and environmental impacts. The tung tree produces a high-value seed oil. Approximately 80% of tung oil is α-eleostearic acid, which has a high degree of unsaturation thus giving it properties as a drying oil. The …

Discovery and characterization of regulatory mechanisms affecting the heteromeric acetyl-coenzyme a carboxylase in Arabidopsis
… of one of the BADC genes in A. thaliana seed led to a slight, yet significant, increase in seed oil content. We conclude the BADC proteins are ancient BCCPs that acquired a new function through mutation of the biotinylation motif. We propose a poisoned complex model whereby BADCs function …

Chemical characterisation of grapevine waste and bioactivity on cancer cell lines
… Solvent extracts of stems, skins and defatted seeds from grapevine waste of both noble French and indigenous Maltese grapevine cultivars were studied. The individual parts were air dried and subjected to polar solvent extraction and concentrated. Grape seed oil was obtained from hexane defatted …

Enhancing Seed Quality and Application of Soybean through High Test Weigh and Low Trypsin Inhibitors
Soybean is an integral oilseed crop that is used all over the world. Despite this, soybean has been experiencing a decrease in seed quality seen by the decreasing trend in test weight, and is limited in its uses due to the antinutritional factor, trypsin inhibitor (TI). This project first worked to …

Seed protein, oil, and yield of soybean genotypes with high and normal oleic acid concentration
Soybeans with seed oil high in oleic acid content have been developed and are desired by oil processors because of improved oxidative stability for broader use in food, fuel and other products. Conventional soybean lines with 80% oleic acid content were generated by combining two mutant genes, …
