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 …

Lipid droplets (LDs) are ubiquitous and specialized organelles in eukaryotic cells.
Consisting of a triacylglycerol core surrounded by a monolayer of membrane lipids, LDs are …

Lipid droplets (LDs) of seed tissues are storage organelles for triacylglycerols (TAGs) that
provide the energy and carbon for seedling establishment. In the major route of LD …

The marine microalgae Nannochloropsis oceanica (CCMP1779) is a prolific producer of oil
and is considered a viable and sustainable resource for biofuel feedstocks. Nitrogen (N) …

Background Microalgae are emerging hosts for the sustainable production of lutein, a high-
value carotenoid; however, to be commercially competitive with existing systems, their …

Microalgae hold great promises as sustainable cellular factories for the production of
alternative fuels, feeds, and biopharmaceuticals for human health. While the biorefinery …

Plants and algae must tightly coordinate photosynthetic electron transport and metabolic
activities given that they often face fluctuating light and nutrient conditions. The exchange of …

The green microalga Lobosphaera incisa accumulates triacylglycerols (TAGs) with
exceptionally high levels of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (LC-PUFA) arachidonic …

Microalgae have adapted to face abiotic stresses by accumulating energy storage
molecules such as lipids, which are also of interest to industries. Unfortunately, the …

Microalgae accumulate high levels of oil under stress, but the underlying biosynthetic
pathways are not fully understood. We sought to identify key regulators of lipid metabolism …
