Gray, in Encyclopedia of Human Nutrition (Third Edition), 2013. Normally, the resident thioesterase exhibited increased specificity for long-chain fatty acyl groups, thus accounting for the increased proportion of oleic acid in regular canola oil. Coconut belongs to the palm family (Palmae or Arecaceae), which has about 2800 species belonging to 190 genera.

Positional analysis of fatty acyl groups in the TAGs of these transgenic lines, however, revealed very little accumulation of lauric acid at the sn-2 position, likely due to a limitation in the specificity of the indigenous LPAAT which catalyzes the acylation of the sn-2 position of lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) to generate PA in the G3P pathway leading to TAG (Snyder et al., 2009). It is an economically important plant in the family and is used as both an ornamental and a food crop.
