Abstract excerpt
The seed oil of Jatropha curcas has been proposed as a source of biodiesel. In plants, seed oil is stored in subcellular organelles called oil bodies (OBs), which are stabilized by proteins. Proteome composition of the J. curcas OBs revealed oleosins as the major component and additional proteins similar to those in other oil seed plants. Three J. curcas oleosins were isolated and characterized at the gene,...
