Sterols are required for the coordinated assembly of lipid droplets in developing seeds.

Nature communications - 22 Sept 2021

Yu Linhui, Fan Jilian, Zhou Chao, Xu Changcheng

Abstract excerpt

Lipid droplets (LDs) are intracellular organelles critical for energy storage and lipid metabolism. They are typically composed of an oil core coated by a monolayer of phospholipids and proteins such as oleosins. The mechanistic details of LD biogenesis remain poorly defined. However, emerging evidence suggest that their formation is a spatiotemporally regulated process, occurring at specific sites of the...
