A plant unique ESCRT component functions in peroxisome-mediated lipid droplet turnover
Huang et al. demonstrate a novel role–and the underlying mechanism–for FREE1 in regulating LD turnover. Plant Cell. https://doi.org/10.1093/plcell/koac195
Background: Lipid droplets (LDs) are major reservoirs providing energy and lipids for seedling establishment. In vascular plants, the peroxisome-localized…
