Forward genetics approach reveals the factor responsible for carbon trade-off in leaves
Plants store carbon in two primary forms: starch and triacylglycerols (TAGs). Starch is mainly stored in chloroplasts in ...

Unravelling the mechanisms of carbon resource allocation in plant leaves (IMAGE)
Using a forward genetics approach, researchers identified the LIRI1 gene to be the key regulator of carbon allocation in plant leaves, balancing starch and triacylglycerol (TAG) storage. LIRI1 ...
