TL;DR: The identification of another activator of the fatty acid biosynthetic pathway, the Arabidopsis MYB92 transcription factor, is described, providing additional insight into the molecular mechanisms that control the biosynthesis of an important cell wall-associated acylglycerol polymer playing critical roles in plants.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the four desaturases redundantly contribute to storage lipid production during the maturation phase of Arabidopsis thaliana and that the three most highly expressed ones are directly activated by the WRINKLED1 transcription factor.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors highlight the importance of endosperm-specific transcriptional controls for determining original oil compositions usually observed in this tissue in order to determine original oil composition.

TL;DR: More than 50 distinct molecular structures have been described in the plant kingdom and more remain to be discovered as discussed by the authors, and an ongoing research effort aimed at exploring the links existing between fatty acid structures and their biological functions has already unraveled the importance of several monounsaturated fatty acids in various physiological and developmental contexts.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assign specific functions intrinsically linked to the position of the carbon-carbon double bond within their acyl chain within the double bond in the protein decoys.
