Comparative Genomics Points to Tandem Duplications of <i>SAD</i> Gene Clusters as Drivers of Increased ω-3 Content in <i>S. hispanica</i> Seeds
2023-08-28
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> A high-quality chromosome-level reference genome of S. hispanica was assembled and analysed. Ancestral whole-genome duplication events have not promoted the high α-linolenic acid content in S. hispanica seeds Tandem duplication of six stearoyl-ACP desaturase genes is a plausible cause for high ω-3 content in chia seeds. Salvia hispanica L. (chia) is an abundant source of ω-3 polyunsaturated...
