Applications and prospects of genome editing in plant fatty acid and triacylglycerol biosynthesis
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Triacylglycerol (TAG), which is a neutral lipid, has a structure in which three molecules of fatty acid (FA) are ester-bonded to one molecule of glycerol. TAG is important energy source for seed germination and seedling development in plants.

HBO1 is a versatile histone acyltransferase critical for promoter histone acylations
Nucleic Acids Research, 2021 Recent studies demonstrate that histones are subjected to a series of short-chain fatty acid modifications that is known as histone acylations. However, the enzymes responsible for histone acylations in vivo are not well characterized.
