Elevating the lipid content in vegetative tissues has emerged as a new strategy for
increasing energy density and biofuel yield of crops. Storage lipids in contrast to structural …

High biomass crops have recently attracted significant attention as an alternative platform for
the renewable production of high energy storage lipids such as triacylglycerol (TAG). While …

We recently generated oilcane, a metabolically engineered sugarcane with hyper-
accumulation of energy dense triacylglycerol in vegetative tissues. Refinement of this …

Metabolic engineering to divert carbon flux from sucrose to oil in high biomass crop like
sugarcane is an emerging strategy to boost lipid yields per hectare for biodiesel production …

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 …

Background Metabolic engineering for hyperaccumulation of lipids in vegetative tissues is a
novel strategy for enhancing energy density and biofuel production from biomass crops …

Our dependency on reduced carbon for energy has led to a rapid increase in the search for
sustainable alternatives and a call to focus on energy densification and increasing biomass …

Increasing the energy density of biomass by engineering the accumulation of triacylglycerols
(TAGs) in vegetative tissues is synergistic with efforts to produce biofuels by conversion of …

Engineering high biomass plants that produce oil (triacylglycerol or TAG) in vegetative rather
than seed‐related tissues could help meet our growing demand for plant oil. Several studies …

Metabolic engineering approaches to increase plant oil levels can generally be divided into
categories which increase fatty acid biosynthesis ('Push'), are involved in TAG assembly …
