“…Interestingly, TAG-assembly-related genes were highly expressed later on (after 35 days of flowering), which is similar to the lipid triacylglycerol biosynthesis described by Bates et al [91]. Fatty acids play important roles in lipid supply in plants and have valuable medicinal properties for humans [93]. This study made a breakthrough in revealing the genetic and molecular determinants of FAs and TAG synthesis in Perilla.…”

Perilla is a key component of Korean food. It contains several plant-specialized metabolites that provide medical benefits. In response to an increased interest in healthy supplement food from the public, people are focusing on the properties of Perilla. Nevertheless, unlike rice and soybeans, there are few studies based on molecular genetics on Perilla, so it is difficult to systematically study the molecular breed. The wild Perilla, Perilla citriodora ‘Jeju17’, was identified a decade ago on the Korean island of Jeju. Using short-reads, long-reads, and Hi-C, a chromosome-scale genome spanning 676 Mbp, with high contiguity, was assembled. Aligning the ‘Jeju17’ genome to the ‘PC002’ Chinese species revealed significant collinearity with respect to the total length. A total of 31,769 coding sequences were predicted, among which 3331 were ‘Jeju17’-specific. Gene enrichment of the species-specific gene repertoire highlighted environment adaptation, fatty acid metabolism, and plant-specialized metabolite biosynthesis. Using a homology-based approach, genes involved in fatty acid and lipid triacylglycerol biosynthesis were identified. A total of 22 fatty acid desaturases were found and comprehensively characterized. Expression of the FAD genes in ‘Jeju17’ was examined at the seed level, and hormone signaling factors were identified. The results showed that the expression of FAD genes in ‘Jeju17’ at the seed level was high 25 days after flowering, and their responses of hormones and stress were mainly associated with hormone signal transduction and abiotic stress via cis-elements patterns. This study presents a chromosome-level genome assembly of P. citriodora ‘Jeju17’, the first wild Perilla to be sequenced from the Korean island of Jeju. The analyses provided can be useful in designing ALA-enhanced Perilla genotypes in the future.

plants are reported to be good sources of health-beneficial compounds such as fatty acid, which can generate livelihood and address food and nutritional insecurity 9) .Among others, Prinsepia utilis belongs to the family Rosaceae and is commonly known as Himalayan Cherry (English) ; Bhekhal, Jatalu, and Dhatila (Hindi) is one of the WEP found in the Himalayan region. It is a deciduous shrub found between 1000-3000 m asl and used in Chinese & Indian medicine to cure skin diseases, rheumatism, inflammation, and leprosy 10) . The seeds of the species are a source of edible oil and are reported as good as Mediterranean olive oil 11) . The seeds are rich in palmitic, oleic, linoleic, and erucic acid 9) . Besides cooking, the oil is used in arthritis, body pain, and muscular pain 11) . The seed oil is used in cosmeceuticals, skincare formulations and works as a skin barrier due to the presence of unsaturated fatty acids and vitamins 12) . The whole plant is traditionally used in many aliments such as infantile eczema, myogenic toxic-Abstract: The study aims to identify the fatty acid composition in Prinsepia utilis seeds collected from diverse populations of Western Himalaya, India. The seeds contained higher saturated fatty acid (SFA-43.09%; Average of all populations) followed by polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA -29.57%) and monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA -25.53%), however variations among growing populations was measured. The correlation analysis reveals a significant (p < 0.05) negative connection between 10-Octadecenoic acid methyl ester (FA1), and altitude. Edaphic factors like available nitrogen showed significantly (p < 0.05) but the negative correlation with cis-11-Eicosenoic acid, methyl ester (FA10; p < 0.001), Docosanoic acid, methyl ester (FA11; p < 0.05), Heptadecanoic acid, methyl ester (FA14; p < 0.05), and Tricosanoic acid, methyl ester (FA29; p < 0.05). Antioxidant activity did not show any variation in the seed oil of different populations but varied among the concentrations (5-50 µL) used. IC 50 values of DPPH activity was significantly (p < 0.05) varied connect ranged from 11.31-24.21 µL/mL among the different populations. These variations in fatty acid composition and IC 50 values of the DPPH activity can be one of the indicators for selecting a promising population that would be harnessed for its potential in nutraceuticals and cosmeceuticals industries.
