9.2: Seed Physiology

Seed — a living plant in a quiescent state. In the ovary, within the ovule, after egg and sperm unite to form the zygote, the zygote cell repeatedly divides and develops into an embryo. The embryo differentiates into different structures — plumule, radicle, cotyledon (s), and the endosperm, seed coat, or pericarp develop.

In this study, we isolated a r …

Lipid metabolism in plants

Jojoba, a desert shrub found in the American southwest, is the only plant species known to accumulate waxes (up to 60% of seed weight) rather than TG as a seed storage reserve. These waxes are mostly derived from C20 to C24 monounsaturated fatty acids and alcohols and are synthesized by the elongation of oleate followed by reduction …

Seed Storage

Seed storage lipids are mainly oils, i.e., liquid above 20°C, and almost always triacylglycerols (TAGs), i.e., esters of glycerol and fatty acids (see Box 12-2 in Chapter 12 ). One exception is jojoba (Simmondsia chinensis L.) seed. It stores liquid wax formed by the acylation of fatty acids to long-chain alcohols.
