This project focuses on increasing oil content in seeds by understanding the molecular mechanisms of oil accumulation in the endosperm of Arabidopsis thaliana. It aims to identify transcriptional regulators and develop biotechnological methods for enhancing oil yield.
Consumption of oil derived from seeds is steeply increasing worldwide.
First, oilseeds represent a key component of human and livestock diets.
Then, fatty acids found in storage lipids accumulated in oilseeds are structurally similar to long chain hydrocarbons, so that plant oils are now widely used as competitive and sustainable alternatives to hydrocarbon-based products for energy and green chemistry (synthesis of detergents, plastics, lubricants and paints).
The increasing demand of plant oil…
