sinapis orientalis/triacylglycerol

Cotyledons of developing mustard (Sinapis alba L.) seed have been found to synthesize lipids containing the common plant fatty acids and very long-chain monounsaturated (icosenoic, erucic, and tetracosenic) and saturated (icosanoic, docosanoic, and tetracosanoic) fatty acids from various radioactive

Particulate (15,000g) fractions from developing seeds of honesty (Lunaria annua L.) and mustard (Sinapis alba L.) synthesize radioactive very long chain monounsaturated fatty acids (gadoleic, erucic, and nervonic) from [1-(14)C]oleoyl-CoA and malonyl-CoA or from oleoyl-CoA and [2-(14)C]malonyl-CoA.

Acetone powder preparations from the roots of white mustard (Sinapis alba L) seedlings efficiently catalyse the esterification of [1-14C]n-hexadecanol in the presence of tripalmitoylglycerol as the fatty acid source. Free palmitic acid as well as mono- and dipalmitoylglycerols are much less

[1-(14)C]Oleic acid and [14-(14)C]erucic acid were converted to their acyl-CoA derivatives and incorporated into acyl lipids by a homogenate from developing mustard (Sinapis alba L.) seed and oil bodies, as well as supernatant isolated by centrifugation at 20000 g. In both homogenate and oil bodies,
