Limnanthes alba Benth. (meadowfoam), a diploid ( x=5) winter annual, produces novel very long-chain seed oils (C(20) and C(22)) with less than 2% saturated fatty acids. The first genetic map of meadow...
Of the three acyl coenzyme A acyltransferases (AT) directly involved in the assembly of fatty acids into triacylglycerols (TAG) in maturing seed, lysophosphatidate (LPA) AT has the highest substrate s...
Meadowfoam ( Limnanthes alba) is an oilseed crop grown in western Oregon. The seed meal has potential value as a biopesticide due to glucosinolate degradation products and phytoecdysteroids, a group o...
Meadowfoam ( Limnanthes alba ) is an oilseed crop grown in western Oregon. After extraction of the oil from the seeds, the remaining seed meal contains 2-4% of the glucosinolate glucolimnanthin. This ...
