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 …

Triacylglycerol hydrolysis (lipolysis) plays a pivotal role in the life cycle of many plants by
providing the carbon skeletons and energy that drive postgerminative growth. Despite the …

Triacylglycerol (TAG) levels and oil bodies persist in sucrose (Suc)-rescued Arabidopsis
(Arabidopsis thaliana) seedlings disrupted in seed oil catabolism. This study set out to …

Plant oils in the form of triacylglycerol (TAG) are used for food, industrial feedstock and
biofuel manufacture. Although TAG is typically harvested from the fruit or seeds of oil crop …

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

We recently reported the cloning and characterization of an Arabidopsis (ecotype Columbia)
diacylglycerol acyltransferase cDNA (Zou et al., 1999) and found that in Arabidopsis mutant …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …
