Article Synopsis
- Lipid transporters, particularly FAX1 and ABCA9, significantly impact oil production and lipid metabolism in the oilseed crop Camelina sativa, a subject that has been underexplored.
- * Overexpressing FAX1 and ABCA9 resulted in larger and heavier seeds, with distinct effects on seed dimensions and oil content, showing that these transporters have complementary roles.
- * The study suggests that enhancing the expression of FAX1 and ABCA9 could be a promising strategy for boosting oil production in camelina crops.
Nuclear moonlighting of cytosolic glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase regulates Arabidopsis response to heat stress.

Various stress conditions induce the nuclear translocation of cytosolic glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPC), but its nuclear function in plant stress responses remains elusive. Here we show that GAPC interacts with a transcription factor to promote the expression of heat-inducible genes and heat tolerance in Arabidopsis. GAPC accumulates in the nucleus under heat stress.
