Disruption of the Eukaryotic Thylakoid Lipid Pathway Enhances TAG Accumulation in Transgenic Plants Coexpressing PDAT1 and OLE1.

(A) TAG and total lipid levels in leaves of 7-week-old tgd1-1 and transgenic plants coexpressing PDAT1 and OLE1-GFP in the tgd1-1 background (tgd1-1/PDAT1/OLE1). Values are means and sd of three biological replicates. Asterisks indicate statistically significant differences from tgd1-1 based on Student’s t test (P < 0.05).

(B) TEM imaging of ODs in leaves of 7-week-old tgd1-1/PDAT1/OLE1 plants. Bar = 2 µm.
