This project investigates how light influences the breakdown of oil reserves in seeds, a process crucial for plant growth after germination. It aims to understand the role of specific proteins in regulating this process, which has significant implications for agricultural biotechnology.
Storage oil mobilization (SOM) breaks down the reserve lipids in the seed and converts them to sugar. SOM is essential to support postgermination growth and seedling establishment, which are of foremost importance for plant fitness in the field.
Light is the main environmental cue determining the transition between heterotrophic growth based on oil reserves and photoautotrophic growth supported by photosynthesis. SOM is faster in the dark-to-light transition compared to dark, indicating that the…
