Improving oil quality in seeds by an integrated metabolic engineering approach. Broadly, strategies aim to (1) increase the carbon flux into de novo fatty acid synthesis (FAS) (“Push strategy”), (2) ensure efficient assembly of nascent acyl chains into triacylglycerol (TG) (“Pull strategy”), (3) facilitate lipid droplet (LD) biogenesis and maximize droplet stability by proper coating (“Package strategy”), and (4) minimize TG turnover (“Protect strategy”).
