Lipid droplets, also known as oil bodies or lipid bodies, are plant organelles that
compartmentalize neutral lipids as a hydrophobic matrix covered by proteins embedded in a …

Plant oils represent an energy-rich and carbon-dense group of hydrophobic compounds.
These oils are not only of economic interest, but also play important, fundamental roles in …

The number of known proteins associated with plant lipid droplets (LDs) is small compared
with other organelles. Many aspects of LD biosynthesis and degradation are unknown, and …

In eukaryotic cells, lipids in the form of triacylglycerols (TAGs) are the major reservoir of
cellular carbon and energy. These TAGs are packed into specialized organelles called lipid …

During evolution, the male gametophyte of Angiosperms has been severely reduced to the
pollen grain, consisting of a vegetative cell containing two sperm cells. This vegetative cell …

Pollen tube is the fastest-growing plant cell. Its polarized growth process consumes a
tremendous amount of energy, which involves coordinated energy fluxes between plastids …

Understanding the adaptive changes in wheat pollen lipidome under high temperature (HT)
stress is critical to improving seed set and developing HT tolerant wheat varieties. We …

Lipid droplets (LDs) are important organelles conserved across eukaryotes with a
fascinating biogenesis and consumption cycle. Recent intensive research has focused on …

Since decades plant lipid droplets (LDs) are described as storage organelles accumulated
in seeds to provide energy for seedling growth after germination. Indeed, LDs are the site of …

Signaling pathways that control the activities in non-photosynthetic plastids, important sites
of plant metabolism, are largely unknown. Previously, we demonstrated that WRKY2 and …
