Abstract excerpt
Bioactive specialized metabolites (SMs) are synthesized and sequestered in specific cellular compartments or organelles as a self-defense strategy against their intrinsic toxicity. Liverwort-specific oil bodies accumulate large amounts of SMs and contribute to chemical defense; however, the molecular mechanisms underlying SM sequestration in oil bodies remain largely unknown. Therefore, in this study, we focused...
