Cellular Plasticity in Response to Suppression of Storage Proteins in the Brassica napus Embryo

Description: Article testing the tradeoff between protein and oil storage in oilseed crops by analyzing the effect of suppressing key genes encoding protein storage products (napin and cruciferin). This study provides mechanistic insights into the intriguing link between lipid and protein storage, which have implications for biotechnological strategies directed at improving oilseed crops.
