High impact information on Crepis

  • The mechanism by which the fatty acid acetylenase of Crepis alpina catalyzes crepenynic acid ((9Z)-octadeca-9-en-12-ynoic acid) production from linoleic acid has been probed through the use of kinetic isotope effect (KIE) measurements [1].
  • The Crepis palaestina cDNA Cpal2 encodes a delta 12-epoxygenase that can catalyse the synthesis of 12,13-epoxy-cis-9-octadecenoic acid (18:1E) from linoleic acid (18:2) [2].
  • Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. expressing the Crepis palaestina (L.) linoleic acid delta12-epoxygenase in its developing seeds typically accumulates low levels of vernolic acid (12,13-epoxy-octadec-cis-9-enoic acid) in comparison to levels found in seeds of the native C. palaestina [3].
  • The evolutionarily closely related Delta12 epoxygenase from Crepis palaestina had only weak desaturase activity but could also produce 9(Z),12(E)-octadecadienoate from oleate [4].
  • From the roots of Crepis mollis, one new and two known guaianolides were isolated together with eight known guaianolide glycosides, one known germacranolide glycoside and two known phenylpropanoids [5].
