Triacylglycerols (TAGs) produced by microalgae are a promising biofuel resource, but low
productivity is still a problem for practical production. Understanding the underlying …

Background In the past few decades, microalgae biofuel has become one of the most
interesting sources of renewable energy. However, the higher cost of microalgae biofuel …

In algae and land plants, transport of fatty acids (FAs) from their site of synthesis in the
plastid stroma to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) for assembly into acyl lipids is crucial for …

The microalga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii accumulates triacylglycerols (TAGs) in lipid
droplets under stress conditions, such as nitrogen starvation. TAG biosynthesis occurs …

Background Chloroplast and endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-localized fatty acid (FA)
transporters have been reported to play important roles in oil (mainly triacylglycerols, TAG) …

Fatty acid synthesis in plants occurs in plastids, and thus, export for subsequent acyl editing
and lipid assembly in the cytosol and endoplasmatic reticulum is required. Yet, the transport …

Lipid transporters synergistically contribute to oil accumulation under normal conditions in
microalgae; however, their effects on lipid metabolism under stress conditions are unknown …

Background Fatty acids synthesized in chloroplast are transported to endoplasmic reticulum
(ER) for triacylglycerols (TAGs) resembling. The development of chloroplast also requires …

Microalgal triacylglycerols (TAGs) are a good feedstock for liquid biofuel production.
Improving the expression and/or function of transcription factors (TFs) involved in TAG …

Fatty acids are synthesized in the stroma of plant and algal chloroplasts by the fatty acid
synthase complex. Newly synthesized fatty acids are then used to generate plastidial lipids …
