Abstract: Described herein are non-human organisms for producing triacylglycerol wherein the non-human organism is genetically modified to express a lysophosphatidic acid acyltransferase specific for C16:0-Coenzyme A (C16:0 LPAT) and wherein, once expressed, the C16:0 LPAT is localised in the endoplasmic reticulum. Also described are non-human organisms for producing triacylglycerol in which (a) a lysophosphatidic acid acyltransferase specific for C16:0-Coenzyme A (C16:0 LPAT) is localised in the endoplasmic reticulum; and (b) activity of native endoplasmic reticulum lysophosphatidic acid acyltransferase (ER LPAT) is suppressed or prevented. Further described are non-human organisms in which a chloroplast lysophosphatidic acid acyltransferase (LPAT) is expressed, wherein said chloroplast LPAT lacks a functional chloroplast targeting signal. The disclosure also relates to methods for extracting triacylglycerol from the organisms and the use thereof in infant formula.

Abstract: Described herein are compounds comprising a dimer of dehydrosalicortin or a derivative, homologue, stereoisomer, prodrug or pharmaceutical salt thereof. In particular embodiments, the dimer is a result of a Diels-Alder reaction. Also described are compositions comprising the compounds and their use in treating disease.

Abstract: Disclosed are plants including a cyanobacterial ribulose-1,5,-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) which can assemble and fix carbon without an interacting protein.

Abstract: The invention relates to eukaryotic organisms such as vascular plants that include recombinant microcompartments.

Abstract: A recombinant camelina plant or cell comprising one or more polynucleotides encoding a ?6-desaturase, a ?6-elongase and a ?5-desaturase operably linked with one or more regulatory sequences.

Abstract: A composition comprising an alkynyl phenoxy compound of Formula (I) as a synergist and a pesticidal active ingredient is described, wherein R1 and R2, similar or different, are (C1-C4)alkyl or R1O— and R2O— together represent a group —O—CH2—O—, —O—CH(CH3)—O, —O—CH2—CH2—O—, —O—CH2—CH2—, R3 is (C1-C6)alkyl, (C3-C6)alkenyl or —B—(CH2—CH2—O)z-R6 where B is —CH2—O— or —O—, z is 0, 1 or 2 and R6 is (C1-C4)alkyl; R4 is hydrogen or methyl; R5 is hydrogen or methyl; x is an integer from 1 to 2; y is 0, 1 or 2; with the proviso that when R3 is —B—(CH2CH2—O)z-R6, y is 1 and 5-(propargyloxy)-benzo[1,3]dioxole is excluded.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a polynucleotide from Emiliana huxleyi which codes for a desaturase and which can be employed for the recombinant production of polyunsaturated fatty acids. The invention furthermore relates to vectors, host cells and transgenic nonhuman organisms which comprise the polynucleotide according to the invention, and to the polypeptides encoded by the polynucleotide. The invention furthermore relates to antibodies against the polypeptide according to the invention. Finally, the invention also relates to production methods for the polyunsaturated fatty acids and for oil, lipid and fatty acid compositions and to their use as drugs, cosmetics, foodstuffs, feedstuffs, preferably fish food, or food supplements.

Abstract: The present disclosure is relative to a method for the production of Very-Long-Chain Fatty Acids (VLCFA) into a plant cell, including culturing a recombinant plant cell in an appropriate medium, wherein said plant cell is transformed with an heterologous gene encoding for an hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydratase. The disclosure is also relative to a method for producing vegetable oil including high levels of VLCFA.
