Integral Proteins in Plant Oil Bodies

Figure 5

Constitution of artificial oil bodies. A cartoon diagram showed the preparation of artificial oil bodies by sonication (a). Artificial oil bodies (AOB) were generated with triacylglycerol (TAG) and phospholipid (PL) in the presence of oil-body protein, oleosin (b), or caleosin (c). Photos of (b) and (c) are adopted from Figure 3 of Chen et al., [143].
