Characterization of Acyltransferases to Understand Lipid Biosynthesis in Nonseed Tissues
Triacylglycerol (TAG) is the main storage lipid in plants, found both in seed and non-seed tissues (e.g. root, leaves, mesocarp etc.). Plants use TAGs as a carbon and energy source during seed germination while humans use plant lipids for biofuel production, industrial feedstocks and nutrition. It i...
