Better together: Protein partnerships for lineage-specific oil accumulation
Curr Opin Plant Biol. 2022 Feb 24;66:102191. doi: 10.1016/j.pbi.2022.102191. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPlant-derived oils are a major agricultural product that exist in both ubiquitous forms such as common vegetable oils and in specialized forms such as castor oil and coconut oil. These specialized oils are the result of lineage-specific metabolic pathways that create oils rich in unusual fatty acids. Considerable progress has been made toward understanding the enzymes that mediate fatty acid biosynthesis, triacylglycerol assembly, and oil storage. However, efforts to translate this knowledge into renewable bioproducts...
