There is growing interest in engineering green biomass to expand the production of plant
oils as feed and biofuels. Here, we show that PHOSPHOLIPID: DIACYLGLYCEROL …

Triacylglycerol (TAG) metabolism is a key aspect of intracellular lipid homeostasis in yeast
and mammals, but its role in vegetative tissues of plants remains poorly defined. We …

Plant seeds are the primary source of triacylglycerols (TAG) for food, feed, fuel, and
industrial applications. As TAG is produced from diacylglycerol (DAG), successful …

Phospholipid: diacylglycerol acyltransferase (PDAT) and diacylglycerol: acyl C o A
acyltransferase play overlapping roles in triacylglycerol (TAG) assembly in A rabidopsis, and …

To more fully understand the function of phospholipid: diacylglycerol acyltransferase (PDAT,
EC 2.3. 1.158) in plants we have isolated and characterized a knockout mutant of …

Enhancement of acyl-CoA–dependent triacylglycerol (TAG) synthesis in vegetative tissues is
widely discussed as a potential avenue to increase the energy density of crops. Here, we …

Abstract Triacylglycerol (TAG), typically represents< 1% of leaf glycerolipids but can
accumulate under stress and other conditions or if leaves are supplied with fatty acids, or in …

Seed triacylglycerol (TAG) biosynthesis involves a metabolic network containing multiple
different diacylglycerol (DAG) and acyl donor substrate pools. This network of pathways …

Triacylglycerol (TAG) biosynthesis is a principal metabolic pathway in most organisms, and
TAG is the major form of carbon storage in many plant seeds. Acyl-CoA: diacylglycerol …

There has been considerable interest recently in the prospect of engineering crops to
produce triacylglycerol (TAG) in their vegetative tissues as a means to achieve a step …
