Seed - Development, Regulation, and Metabolism
Seeds play fundamental roles in plant life and evolution, and for crop improvement. They also provide a large share of animal and human food and renewable raw materials for different industries.
Dynamics and Engineering of Lipidic Compartments
Lipids are essential molecules involved in cell structure, signaling and obviously in the formation of reserves but also in the response to stress. These different functions interact and contribute to the proper function of plants, but also are the source of new applications.
Dynamics and Structure of Lipid Bodies
Most organisms store lipids or oils in intracellular organelles called lipid droplets (LD). Located at the crossroads of the accumulation, storage and mobilization of lipids, LDs have been the subject of few studies compared to the other important factors for lipid synthesis and mobilization.
