| Abstract | This project will use genomic tools to better understand the molecular mechanisms that govern the biosynthesis of plant oils in the oilseed and bioenergy crops. The team will use genetics, molecular biology, and biochemistry to understand the role of specific proteins in storing nutritious fatty acids in seeds of food crop plants. This information will be useful for plant breeding to enhance crops to provide higher nutritional components that will increase agricultural output as a crucial compon |
