Funded Activity Summary

Characterisation of novel gene products that regulate phospholipid metabolism and lipid droplet formation in the yeast saccharomyces cerevisiae. This project aims to study gene products that control lipid storage in the form of lipid droplets. The biogenesis and composition of lipid droplets in plant seeds or algae determine the quantity and quality of oil/biodiesel production.
