Membrane lipidomes are dynamic and their changes generate lipid mediators affecting
various biological processes. Phosphatidic acid (PA) has emerged as an important class of …

The world's population is projected to increase by two billion by 2050, resulting in food and
energy insecurity. Oilseed crops have been identified as key to address these challenges …

Heterosis is extensively used to improve crop productivity, yet its allelic and chromatin
regulation remains unclear. Based on our resolved genomes of the maternal TGY and …

Background Soybean oil is a major source of edible oil, and the domestication of wild
soybean has resulted in significant changes in oil content and composition. Extensive efforts …

Walnut (Juglans regia L.) is a widely cultivated woody oilseed tree species, and its embryo is
rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids. Thus far, the pathways and essential genes involved in oil …

Seed development follows zygotic embryogenesis; during the maturation phase reserves
accumulate and desiccation tolerance is acquired. This is tightly regulated at the …

Rapeseed, an allotetraploid oil crop, provides vegetable oil for human consumption. The
growing demand for oilseeds has necessitated the development of rapeseed varieties with …

Lipid catabolism in germinating seeds provides energy and substrates for initial seedling
growth, but how this process is regulated is not well understood. Here, we show that an AT …

A substantial increase in yield of food crops is crucial to feeding the burgeoning global
population. There is a need to introduce new breeding strategies that will accelerate the …

Increasing yield and quality of seed storage compounds in a sustainable way is a key
challenge for our societies. Genome-wide analyses conducted in both monocot and dicot …
