Transcriptional regulation of oil biosynthesis in seed plants: Current understanding, applications, and perspectives
Plants produce and accumulate triacylglycerol (TAG) in their seeds as an energy reservoir to
support the processes of seed germination and seedling development. Plant seed oils are …
