Seed Oil Bodies from Gevuina avellana and Madia sativa

Abstract: In this study, oil bodies (OBs) from Gevuina avellana (OBs-G) and Madia sativa (OBs-M) were isolated and characterized. Microscopic inspection revealed that the monolayer on OB-G was thinner compared to that on OB-M. Cytometric profiles regarding size, complexity, and staining for the two OB sources were similar. Fatty acid to protein mass ratio in both OBs was near 29, indicating high lipid enrichment. OBs-G and OBs-M showed a strong electrostatic repulsion over wide ranges of pH (5.5−9.5) and NaCl concentrat… Show more

“…A putative role has been proposed for this protein as a peroxygenase involved in oxylipin metabolism during biotic and abiotic stress responses in Arabidopsis . The presence of proteins involved in vesicular transport, protein synthesis, and solute transport, in addition to canonical seed OB proteins has also been recently reported . Thus, it appears that different protein classes found in various types of cells and organisms, are also found in seed OBs, which despite the presence of plant‐specific proteins, may harbor a collection of proteins similar to that found in other eukaryotes.…”

“…Both salt and alkaline treatments disrupt the electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions between peripheral and integral membrane proteins [31]. The purity of OBs isolated under alkaline conditions and with only three flotation steps, [23,27] was comparable to that of OBs purified using the method of Tzen et al [25]. During most of these procedures, which used relatively harsh conditions, any proteins that are not strongly associated with OBs are certainly removed or degraded, and therefore a lot of the proteins playing a crucial role in OB function and turnover are lost.…”

“…According to Angelini et al (1997) the average amount of the glyceride oil in Madia sativa seeds was 31.0% with the highest value of 42.0%. Linoleic acid (52.0-72.4%) predominated in fatty acid fraction followed by palmitic and oleic acid (Schmeda-Hirschmann 1995;Angelini et al 1997;Acevedo et al 2012). Despite that, there is scanty information about the content and composition of bioactive compounds such as tocopherols, phospholipids and sterols in Madia sativa seed oil.…”
