Land plants are exposed to not only biotic stresses such as pathogen infection and
herbivore wounding, but abiotic stresses such as cold, heat, drought, and salt. Elaborate …

Lipid droplets, also known as oil bodies or lipid bodies, are plant organelles that
compartmentalize neutral lipids as a hydrophobic matrix covered by proteins embedded in a …

Cytoplasmic lipid droplets (LDs) of neutral lipids (triacylglycerols [TAGs], sterylesters, etc.)
are reserves of high-energy metabolites and other constituents for future needs. They are …

Land plants constantly respond to fluctuations in their environment. Part of their response is
the production of a diverse repertoire of specialized metabolites. One of the foremost …

Plant oils represent an energy-rich and carbon-dense group of hydrophobic compounds.
These oils are not only of economic interest, but also play important, fundamental roles in …

Caffeoyl shikimate esterase (CSE) was recently shown to play an essential role in lignin
biosynthesis in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) and later in Medicago truncatula …

Lipid droplets (LDs) are important organelles conserved across eukaryotes with a
fascinating biogenesis and consumption cycle. Recent intensive research has focused on …

Lipases are ubiquitous enzymes, widespread in nature. They were first isolated from
bacteria in the early nineteenth century, and the associated research continuously increased …

In developing soybean seeds, carbon is partitioned between oil, protein and carbohydrates.
Here, we demonstrate that suppression of lipase-mediated turnover of triacylglycerols (TAG) …
