The Jojoba Olesosin1, Lipid Droplet Associated Protein 1, and Lipid Droplet Associated
Protein 3, were identified as potential lipid droplet proteins that could be important for
storage of wax esters. The coding sequences of these genes were transiently
expressed in N. benthamiana leaves individually, and with co-expression of Mus
musculus diacylglycerol acyltransferase 2, and in all cases were able to induce neutral
lipid accumulation. These data also suggest a Lipid Droplet Associated Protein 1 has a
specialized role for wax ester accumulation in the cotyledons, whereas Lipid Droplet
Associated Protein 3 may have a more generalized role for the storage of
triacylglycerols. These differences in compartmentation suggests that the cotyledons
and embryonic axis of jojoba have evolved tissue-specific sets of genes for neutral lipid
assembly and lipid droplet accumulation. It may be important to consider this tissue
context for genetic engineering strategies designed to introduce genes from jojoba into
other oilseed crops.
