Plants produce and accumulate triacylglycerol (TAG) in their seeds as an energy reservoir to
support the processes of seed germination and seedling development. Plant seed oils are …

Microalgae have the potential to become microbial cell factories for lipid production. Their
ability to convert sunlight and CO 2 into valuable lipid compounds has attracted interest from …

As one of the most important crops in the world, rice (Oryza sativa) is a model plant for
metabolome research. Although many studies have focused on the analysis of specific …

Acyl lipids in Arabidopsis and all other plants have a myriad of diverse functions. These
include providing the core diffusion barrier of the membranes that separates cells and …

Most terrestrial plants establish a symbiosis with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), which
provide them with lipids and sugars in exchange for phosphorus and nitrogen. Nutrient …

Oils in the form of triacylglycerols are the most abundant energy-dense storage compounds
in eukaryotes, and their metabolism plays a key role in cellular energy balance, lipid …

Abstract WRINKLED1 (WRI1), the transcriptional activator of fatty acid synthesis, was
recently identified as a target of KIN10, a catalytic α-subunit of the SUCROSE-NON …

During the past decade, there has been a paradigm shift in our understanding of the roles of
intracellular lipid droplets (LDs). New genetic, biochemical and imaging technologies have …

Triacylglycerols (TAGs) constitute a highly efficient form of energy storage. In seeds of
angiosperms, they can act as a reserve of carbon and energy allowing to fuel post …

Plants often experience challenging hypoxic conditions imposed by soil waterlogging or
complete flooding. In rice, Sub1A, a flooding‐induced ethylene responsive factor (ERF) …
