Senescence‐inducible LEC2 enhances triacylglycerol accumulation in leaves without negatively affecting plant growth

The synthesis of fatty acids and glycerolipids in wild‐type Arabidopsis leaves does not typically lead to strong triacylglycerol (TAG) accumulation. LEAFY COTYLEDON2 (LEC2) is a master regulator of seed maturation and oil accumulation in seeds. Constitutive ectopic LEC2 expression causes somatic emb...
