Plant lipid transfer proteins (nsLTPs) constitute a diverse family of small, basic proteins integral to plant survival and adaptation. Predominantly found across terrestrial species, nsLTPs facilitate ...

Jantana Keereetaweep, a biochemistry research associate in the biology department at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory, has been awarded the Paul K. Stumpf Award for her ...

A new study shows that lipid droplets in the leaves contain plant proteins such as different myosin binding proteins involved in intracellular movement, and several enzymes responsible for ...

Extracts made from parts of the cashew plant that are usually thrown away when the nuts are processed commercially were found to significantly limit the development of fat cells and the accumulation ...

A new study by Rice University bioscientists explains how basic cellular structures common to most life forms collaborate to fuel growth in a model plant organism. The findings could shed light on ...

Not all fats are equal. A new study has suggested that unsaturated fats from plant sources are far better for human health than saturated fats from animal sources. This work analyzed the composition ...
