Microalgae have been identified as one of the new feedstocks for renewable energy
production. The conversion of microalgae into various valuable products has also been …

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 …

Lipid droplets (LDs) of seed tissues are storage organelles for triacylglycerols (TAGs) that
provide the energy and carbon for seedling establishment. In the major route of LD …

The algal lipids-based biodiesel, albeit having advantages over plant oils, still remains high
in the production cost. Co-production of value-added products with lipids has the potential to …

The number of described contact sites between different subcellular compartments and
structures in eukaryotic cells has increased dramatically in recent years and, as such, has …

The streptophyte green algal class Zygnematophyceae is the immediate sister lineage to
land plants. Their special form of sexual reproduction via conjugation might have played a …

Autophagy is a catabolic process in which cytoplasmic components are delivered to
vacuoles or lysosomes for degradation and nutrient recycling. Autophagy-mediated …

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

Introduction Phaeodactylum tricornutum is a model species frequently used to study lipid
metabolism in diatoms. When exposed to a nutrient limitation or starvation, diatoms are …

Since decades plant lipid droplets (LDs) are described as storage organelles accumulated
in seeds to provide energy for seedling growth after germination. Indeed, LDs are the site of …
