Lipid metabolism and accumulation in oilseed crops

Triacylglycerols (TAGs) serve as the most important storage form of energy and carbon in eukaryotic cells thus are one fundamental macronutrients for animal human diet. They also used a major feedstock diverse industrial energetic sectors due to their high density. Oilseed crops represent valuable source TAGs world sources edible oils. Originally, oilseeds various species were model decipher plant lipid synthesis pathways. Given continuous progress research on metabolism, here we provide an overview update current state knowledge related mainly lipids oilseeds. Moreover, present latest evidences molecular networks governing metabolism not only but other seed lipids, like wax esters, sterols sphingolipids. Finally, this review provides framework understanding complex web existing
