The effect of WRI1 and DGAT1 overexpression on lipid metabolism in developing pennycress embryos

Listed in NCBI GEO

Thlaspi arvense (field pennycress) is an emerging oilseed crop closely related to Arabidopsis thaliana.

Description

Prior research on oilseed species has demonstrated that seed specific upregulation of WRINKLED1 (WRI1), a key regulator of triacylglycerol (TAG) biosynthesis, can augment seed oil content. This phenomenon extends to the TAG biosynthetic enzyme diglyceride acyltransferase 1 (DGAT1).

In this study, we show that stable co-expression of WRI1 and DGAT1 in pennycress during seed development significantly elevates oil content in mature seeds. Utilizing in vitro cultured developing embryos, we thoroughly characterized the alterations in seed composition resulting from WRI1/DGAT1 overexpression, employing a combination of transcriptomic analysis, targeted metabolomics, and metabolic flux analysis.
