A hickory diacylglycerol acyltransferase gene coordinates fatty acid metabolism and aluminum tolerance in plants
These findings establish CcDGAT1 as a functional oil‐promoting DGAT1 in hickory and support a model in which CcDGAT1‐associated lipid remodeling contributes to Al‐stress protection, and provides a transcriptional framework for linking lipid metabolism with stress resilience in woody oil crops.
