Molecular mechanisms underlying the high oleic acid phenotype in sunflower

Creator:

Schuppert, Gunnar Felix

Abstract:

Wildtype sunflower typically produces 12-24% oleic acid (18:1) and 70-82% linoleic acid (18:2). High-oleic sunflower, by contrast, produces up to 80-94% oleic acid. The monounsaturated oleic acid has a greater oxidative stability than the polyunsaturated linoleic acid, predominant in wildtype sunflower, and has greater nutritional benefits than polyunsaturated and saturated...

Generation of full-length cDNA clone and functional analysis of leader proteases of grapevine leafroll-associated virus-2

Creator:

Liu, Yu-Ping

Abstract:

Papain-like leader proteases are found in diverse families of human, animal, plant, and fungal positive-strand RNA viruses. In addition to autocatalytic processing, these proteases play a variety of roles in the virus life cycle. In particular, the leader protease (L-Pro) of a prototype member of the Closterovirus genus, Beet yellows...
