Genome-Wide Analysis of Glycerol-3-Phosphate Acyltransferase (GPAT) Family in <i>Perilla frutescens</i> and Functional Characterization of <i>PfGPAT9</i> Crucial for Biosynthesis of Storage Oils Rich in High-Value Lipids

Genome-Wide Analysis of Glycerol-3-Phosphate Acyltransferase (GPAT) Family in <i>Perilla frutescens</i> and Functional Characterization of <i>PfGPAT9</i> Crucial for Biosynthesis of Storage Oils Rich in High-Value Lipids

Glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase (GPAT) catalyzes the first step in triacylglycerol (TAG) biosynthesis. However, GPAT members and their functions remain poorly understood in <i>Perilla frutescens</i>, a special edible-medicinal plant with its seed oil rich in polyunsaturated fatty ac...
