Production of prostanoids in the plant Arabidopsis thaliana
School of Biological Sciences, University of Bristol, Woodland Road, Bristol BS8 1UG, United Kingdom.
Prostanoids originate from PGHS action on the 20-carbon polyunsaturated fatty acid: DGLA, AA and EPA. We used cDNA expression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and enzyme immunoassays to compare the activities of two mouse PGHS isoforms and cDNAs encoding mouse prostaglandin I synthase and thromboxane A synthase and genomic DNA encoding Trypanosoma brucei prostaglandin F synthase. All genes were active and were put in Transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana plants producing DGLA.

Biosynthesis of Very Long Chain Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids in Chicory
1Plant and Crop Sciences Division, School of Biosciences, University of Nottingham, 2School of Biological Sciences, University of Bristol
Very long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (VLCPUFAs) are declining in reserves, since they are produced by oily fish. VLCPUFAs are important in human nutrition because they are responsible for the production of inflammatory mediators such as prostaglandins, the regulation of cholesterol synthesis and its transport, and the maintenance of cellular membranes. This research aims to produce VLCPUFAs in edible plants.

Electronic Laboratory Notebooks Conference, London, UK
28 January 2009 - 29 January 2009
Electronic Laboratory Notebooks (ELN) continues to replace paper-based systems for data recording, improving efficiency and data manageability. Although integrating ELNs with other lab information systems on a central host has become an inherent challenge to improve knowledge sharing within an organization, the market has responded with many new solutions available, for those considering implementation or looking to improve their current IT system.
