Jallon, 1984). The HC polymorphism between populations of this species was mapped to the desat locus (Coyne et al., 1999), which contains two A9-desaturase genes, desatl and desat2, located in tandem. We found that desat2 is not expressed at all in Canton-S (7,11-HC strain), but is expressed in Tai females (5,9-HC strain) (Dallerac et al., 2000). Desat2 desaturates myristic acid (C14 0) to myristoleic acid (A9 C14 1), leading to the synthesis of 5,9-HC in Tai females. A deficiency of 16 nucleotides present in 7,11-HC flies is responsible for the lack of desat2 transcription in these females (Takahashi et al., 2001). 

Earlier reports [50] showed that vesicles composed of oleic acid can grow and reproduce as oleoyl anhydride spontaneously hydrolyzed in the reaction mixture, thereby adding additional amphiphilic components (oleic acid) to the vesicle membranes. This approach has recently been extended by Hanczyc et al. [51], who prepared myristoleic acid membranes under defined conditions of pH, temperature, and ionic strength. The process by which the vesicles formed from micellar solutions required several hours, apparently with a rate-limiting step related to the assembly of nuclei of bilayer structures. However, if a mineral surface in the form of clay particles was present, the surface in some way catalyzed vesicle formation, reducing the time required from hours to a few minutes. The clay particles were spontaneously encapsulated in the vesicles. The authors further found that RNA bound to the clay was encapsulated as well. 

In a second series of experiments, Hanczyc et al. [52] found that the myristoleic acid vesicles could be induced to grow by addition of fatty acid to the medium, presumably by incorporating fatty acid molecules into the membrane, rather than by fusion of vesicles. If the resulting suspension of large vesicles was then filtered through a polycarbonate filter having pores 0.2 pm in diameter, the larger vesicles underwent a kind of shear-induced division to produce smaller vesicles. This process could be repeated several times (Fig. 5).

Hirata et al (1987) conducted extensive tests comparing the FA composition of egg yolk after feed supplements of vegetable oil and animal fat. The FA sample of the dietary fat supplement is reflected considerably more clearly in TAG than in polar lipids. Table 14.10B reveals that compared to the supplement of animal fats, the proportion of linoleic acid in the TAG of the egg yolk is highest after a 10% soy oil supplementation, and the proportion of oleic acid the lowest this also applies to a coconut oil supplementation. Furthermore, after coconut oil supplementation, the TAG contain substantially more myristic, myristoleic, and patmitoleic acids. Because myristoleic acid (C14,) and pahnitoleic acid (Cjea) are not present in coconut oil, but do occur in egg yolk lipids, the production of a double bond in myristic and palmitic acids by fat metabolism can be assumed. Although coconut oil consists of 50% lauric acid (C,2 o), only small amounts of this acid can be found in the egg yolk. It has been assumed that hens can use only very small amounts of FA with shorter chains for egg yolk lipid production. Shorter FA in the coconut oil do not contribute to egg yolk FA production.
