Functional diversity of sunflower DGAT1 and DGAT2 enzymes underlying seed triacylglycerol biosynthesis
Introduction Triacylglycerols (TAGs) are the main storage lipids in oilseeds, providing energy and carbon during seed germination, and serving as valuable feedstocks for food, feed, and industrial applications. In plants, the terminal acylation of diacylglycerol (DAG) to form TAG is catalyzed by diacylglycerol acyltran...
