Acyl-CoA: diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT, EC 2.3. 1.20) catalyzes the last reaction in
the acyl-CoA-dependent biosynthesis of triacylglycerol (TAG). DGAT activity resides mainly …

Soybean is a major oil crop and is also a dominant source of nutritional protein. The 20%
seed oil content (SOC) of soybean is much lower than that in most oil crops and the fatty acid …

Vegetable oils are not only major components of human diet but also vital for industrial
applications. WRINKLED1 (WRI1) is a pivotal transcription factor governing plant oil …

As a leading oilseed crop that supplies plant oil and protein for daily human life, increasing
yield and improving nutritional quality (high oil or protein) are the top two fundamental goals …

The deciduous tree Idesia polycarpa can provide premium edible oil with high
polyunsaturated fatty acid contents. Here, we generate its high-quality reference genome …

Bile acid: sodium symporter family protein 2 (BASS2) is a sodium‐dependent pyruvate
transporter, which transports pyruvate from cytosol into plastid in plants. In this study, we …

Transcriptional regulation mediated by combinatorial interaction of transcription factors (TFs)
is a key molecular mechanism modulating plant development and metabolism. Basic …

Every plant organ contains tens of different cell types, each with a specialized function.
These functions are intrinsically associated with specific metabolic flux distributions that …

Glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase (GPAT) catalyzes the first step in triacylglycerol (TAG)
biosynthesis. However, GPAT members and their functions remain poorly understood in …
