Cuphea wrightii thioesterases have unexpected broad specificities on saturated fatty acids.

Plant molecular biology - 1 Jul 1997

Leonard J M, Slabaugh M B, Knapp S J

Abstract excerpt

Cuphea wrightii A. Gray is an herbaceous annual that accumulates 30% caprate (10:0) and 54% laurate (12:0) in seed storage lipids. We investigated the role of acyl-acyl carrier protein (ACP) thioesterases (TE) in acyl chain-length regulation in C. wrightii. Two embryo-derived cDNAs, encoding the TEs Cw FatB1 and Cw FatB2, were isolated. Both proteins were detected in developing embryos and mature seeds but not in...
