The HMG-box protein PtHMG1 modulates lipid accumulation and fatty acid composition in the diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum
Introduction The diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum is a premier biological platform for producing high-value polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). However, the transcriptional mechanisms coordinating lipid accumulation and fatty acid composition remain poorly understood. Methods In this study, we characterized the role o...
