A comprehensive proteomic analysis of elaioplasts from citrus fruits reveals insights into elaioplast biogenesis and function

Citrus fruits: The proteins of elaioplasts A study of the proteins in bodies called elaioplasts in citrus fruit cells will help to clarify elaioplast formation and functions. Plant cells contain several types of membrane-bound bodies called plastids, with elaioplasts being an incompletely characteri...

description Citrus fruits: The proteins of elaioplasts A study of the proteins in bodies called elaioplasts in citrus fruit cells will help to clarify elaioplast formation and functions. Plant cells contain several types of membrane-bound bodies called plastids, with elaioplasts being an incompletely characterized type. They are known to store oils in the cells, especially molecules called terpenes that influence the fragrances and flavors of citrus fruits. Researchers in China, led by Yunliu Zeng at Huazhong Agricultural University, analyzed the protein molecules in elaioplasts of kumquat peel to investigate possible roles for elaioplasts other than oil storage. They identified more than 600 proteins and assigned likely functions to many. The results suggest the proteins are involved in chemical energy transactions and the manufacture of various categories of biomolecules. This will guide research to fully characterize the activities and significance of elaioplasts.
