Zheng, Y.; Jin, Y.; Yuan, Y.; Feng, D.; Chen, L.; Li, D.; Zhou, P.
Identification and function analysis of a type 2 diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT2) from the endosperm of coconut (Cocos nucifera L.) (2019), Gene, 702, 75-82 .

Cloned(Commentary)

Cloned (Comment)	Organism
gene CoDGAT2, sequence comparisons, recombinant expression in and complementation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain H1246 that is deficient in trinacylglycerol (TAG) production. Seed-specific overexpression of CoDGAT2 in Arabidopsis thaliana leads to a significant increase in the linoleic acid (C18:2) content (approximately 6%) compared to wild-type. In contrast, the proportions of eicosadienoic acid (C20:1) and arachidic acid (C20:0) are decreased, quantitative RT-PCR expression analysis	Cocos nucifera

endosperm	CoDGAT2 is highly expressed in coconut pulp approximately 7 months after pollination. CoDGAT2 is highly expressed in endosperm developmental stage 1, decreases significantly at stage 2, and is then restored to the same level as in stage 1	Cocos nucifera	-
