“…Literature data about the content of fatty oils in the fruits and seeds of R. coriaria L. are scarce [Doğan, Akgül, 2005;Nayebpour, Asadi-Gharneh, 2019;Tyutyunnikov, 1992;Ünver, Özcan, 2010]. As it is well-known, vegetable oils are the main food components [Gladyshev, 2022;Triebold, Aurand, 1963], providing a person with such essential fatty acids as linoleic, linolenic and arachidic, which are not synthesized in the human body [Gladyshev, Sushchik, 2019;Ngoddy, Ihekoronye, 1967]. They are suitable as reactive diluents for coatings formulation in the production of drugs [Lombardi et al, 2021;Mozaffarian, Wu, 2012].…”

The genus Rhus L. belonging to the Anacardiaceae family is represented by the only species Rhus coriaria L. in the flora of Azerbaijan, where it is known as sumac. The various organs of the plant have been used from ancient times for tanning leather, dyeing textiles, and for medicinal purposes. The fruits, rich in various biologically active substances, are widely used as flavorings for meat and fish dishes. In this work, the qualitative and quantitative composition of fatty acids, as well as the physicochemical characteristics and organoleptic properties of oil obtained from the seeds of sumac were studied. The chemical characterization was determined by HP 6890 series chromatograph with a flame ionization detector and 15 fatty acids were found. Their content ranged from 0.04% to 57.91%. The main compounds (97.56%) were linoleic (57.91%), oleic (29.14%), palmitic (7.34%) and stearic (3.17%) acids. To the best of our knowledge, myristic, eicosic, eicosatetrenic, arachidonic and heptadecanoic acids were detected for the first time in sumac seed oil. It was found that the fatty oil obtained from the seeds of R. coriaria L. has saponification number 192, 0.44% free fatty acids 0.44%, peroxide number 4.52, iodine number 128, weight fraction of phosphorus-containing substances equal to 303 mg/kg.

Transcriptome Sequencing Reveals Key Genes for Sunflower Unsaturated Fatty Acid Synthesis

Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) is an important oil crop with rich nutrients, and genetically engineered breeding has become an important way to improve its quality. In this study, five varieties of oilseed sunflower were analyzed for fatty acid (FA) content. The seed embryos of one of the high oleic acid (OA) varieties were transcriptome sequenced at different stages. The results showed that OA synthesis dominated the unsaturated fatty acid (UFA) synthesis pathways in seed embryos. Substantially differentially expressed genes were detected at various post-flowering stages. Specifically, the up-regulated gene numbers were highest at 10 d after flowering, while most genes were down-regulated at 20 d after flowering. The enriched genes were rather consistent with almost all experimental groups exhibiting enrichment to the FAD2 gene. The expression of FAD2 was highly negatively correlated with the expressions of FAD6, FAD3, and FAD7. During seed embryo development, the expression level of FAD2 was highly negatively correlated with the final OA content and was highly positively correlated with the final linoleic acid (LA) content. This suggests that the FAD2 is a key enzyme catalyzing the OA to LA conversion.
