GC-MS-Based Analysis of Methanol: Chloroform-extracted Fatty Acids from Plant Tissues

Authors: Manish Kumar Patel, Shubhashis Das and Jitendra Kumar Thakur, date: 09/20/2018, view: 11698, Q&A: 0

[Abstract] Fatty acids (FAs) are carboxylic acids with long aliphatic chains that may be straight, branched and saturated or unsaturated. Most of the naturally occurring plant FAs contains an even number of carbon (C4-C24). FAs are used in food and pharmacological industries due to their nutritional importance. In addition, FAs are considered as a promising ...

Qualitative Analysis of Lipid Peroxidation in Plants under Multiple Stress Through Schiff’s Reagent: A Histochemical Approach

Authors: Jay Prakash Awasthi, Bedabrata Saha, Bhaben Chowardhara, Sanjenbam Sanjibia Devi, Pankaj Borgohain and Sanjib Kumar Panda, date: 04/20/2018, view: 11667, Q&A: 3

[Abstract] Lipid peroxidation is a physiological indicator of both biotic and abiotic stress responses, hence is often used as a biomarker to assess stress-induced cell damage or death. Here we demonstrate an easy, quick and cheap staining method to assess lipid peroxidation in plant tissues. In this methodology, Schiff’s reagent, is used to assay for ...

Tracking Lipid Transfer by Fatty Acid Isotopolog Profiling from Host Plants to Arbuscular Mycorrhiza Fungi

Authors: Andreas Keymer, Claudia Huber, Wolfgang Eisenreich and Caroline Gutjahr, date: 04/05/2018, view: 6429, Q&A: 0

[Abstract] Lipid transfer from host plants to arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi was hypothesized for several years because sequenced arbuscular mycorrhiza fungal genomes lack genes encoding cytosolic fatty acid synthase (Wewer et al., 2014; Rich et al., 2017). It was finally shown by two independent experimental approaches (Jiang et al., ...

Fatty Acid Content and Composition of Triacylglycerols of Chlorella kessleri

Authors: Motohide Aoki and Norihiro Sato, date: 01/05/2018, view: 7338, Q&A: 0

[Abstract] Triacylglycerols (TAGs) are esters formed from one glycerol and three fatty acids. TAGs are induced to accumulate in algal cells under environmental stress conditions including nutrient-limitation, hyperosmosis, and low temperature, for the storage of metabolic energy and carbon, and also for the consumption of excess energy (e.g., Hirai ...

Root Aliphatic Suberin Analysis Using Non-extraction or Solvent-extraction Methods

Authors: Camille Delude, Sollapura J. Vishwanath, Owen Rowland and Frédéric Domergue, date: 06/20/2017, view: 8571, Q&A: 1

[Abstract] Here we describe both non-extraction and solvent-extraction methods for root aliphatic suberin analysis. The non-extraction method is fast as roots are directly depolymerized using acidic transmethylation. However, suberin aliphatic components are isolated together with all the other acyl chains making up the lipids (e.g., membranes) ...

Antifungal and Zearalenone Inhibitory Activity of Ocimum sanctum L. Essential Oil on Fusarium graminearum Determined by UHPLC and RT-qPCR

Authors: Naveen Kumar Kalagatur, Nirmaladevi Dhamodaran, Chandranayaka Siddaiah, Venkataramana Mudili and Murali Harishchandra Sreepathi, date: 08/05/2016, view: 8243, Q&A: 0

[Abstract] Fusarium graminearum has been given special attention in the context of agricultural commodities due to its ability to grow in diverse climatic conditions, and to produce different mycotoxins including zearalenone (ZEA) and type-B trichothecenes, which cause ill health effects on humans, animals and plants. The application of synthetic ...

Extraction and Profiling of Plant Polar Glycerol Lipids

Authors: Yu Liu and Xuemin Wang, date: 06/20/2016, view: 10297, Q&A: 0

[Abstract] This protocol describes a method to extract total polar glycerol lipids from plant materials, followed by mass spectrometry profiling. Different glycerol lipid classes can be distinguished by their head-groups, which can be profiled automatically and quantitatively by a triple quadrupole mass spectrometry in multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode ...

Positional Analysis of Fatty Acids in Phospholipids by PLA₂ Treatment

Authors: Yu Liu and Xuemin Wang, date: 06/20/2016, view: 6408, Q&A: 0

[Abstract] Plant phospholipids can be produced in the endoplasmic reticulum or plastids. Lipids from different sources can be distinguished by the fatty acid profile, in terms of the preferred fatty acid species esterified to the sn-1 or sn-2 position of the glycerol backbone (Ohlrogge and Browse, 1995). This protocol is used to determine ...

Preparation of Chloroplast Lipid Membrane and Lipid-protein Interaction Assay

Authors: Kumiko Okazaki, Shin-ya Miyagishima and Hajime Wada, date: 02/05/2016, view: 8652, Q&A: 0

[Abstract] Lipid-Protein interaction assay is a method to search lipids, which are bound with proteins in vitro. Since membranes that are spotted with chloroplast lipids such as monogalactosyldiacylglycerol (MGDG), digalactosyldiacylglycerol (DGDG), and sulfoquinovosyldiacylglycerol (SQDG) are not commercially available, we extracted these lipids ...

Measurement of PI4P Levels in Intact Chloroplasts Isolated from Arabidopsis thaliana

Authors: Kumiko Okazaki, Shin-ya Miyagishima and Hajime Wada, date: 02/05/2016, view: 8681, Q&A: 1

[Abstract] Phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI4P), a major species of phosphoinositides, modulates many fundamental cellular processes. We have recently revealed that PI4P plays an important role in chloroplast division as a negative regulator. Despite its importance in chloroplasts, the content of PI4P in chloroplasts is very low and it is difficult to ...
