Sunflower seeds (<i>Helianthus annuus</i> L.) accumulate large quantities of triacylglycerols (TAG) between 12 and 28 days after flowering (DAF). This is the period of maximal acyl-acyl carrier protein (acyl-ACP) thioesterase activity <i>in vitro</i>, the enzymes that terminate the process of <i>de novo</i> fatty acid synthesis by catalyzing the hydrolysis of the acyl-ACPs synthesized by fatty acid synthase. Fatty acid thioesterases can be classified into two families with distinct substrate spe ...[more]
