The identification and expression analysis of walnut Acyl-ACP thioesterases.

ABSTRACT: Walnuts (Juglans regia L.), renowned for their nutritional potency, are a rich source of unsaturated fatty acids. Their regular intake plays a pivotal role in health maintenance and recuperation from a myriad of ailments. Fatty acyl-acyl carrier protein thioesterases, which orchestrate the hydrolysis of acyl-ACP thioester bonds, thereby yielding fatty acids of varying chain lengths, are instrumental in augmenting plant fatty acid content and modulating the balance between saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. Despite some investigative efforts into the synthesis and metabolic pathways of fatty acids in walnuts, our comprehension of Fat in walnuts remains rudimentary. This research undertook a comprehensive characterization of the JrFat family, predicated on the complete genome sequ
