Research advance in the regulation of plant lipid trafficiking by transporters.

Lipid exerts numerous functions in plant growth and development such as components of biological membranes, carbon energy storage, protective tissue formation and resistance of pathogen infection. Lipid transport plays an important role in plant lipid metabolism. Plant lipids synthesis occurs in plastid and endoplasmic reticulum, where the generated lipid metabolic intermediates will be distributed to other compartments or out of the cells with different transport, via transporters, membrane contact sites, vesicular trafficking, or diffusion for lipid homeostasis. In this review, we summarized the recent research progress of the regulation mechanism of lipid transport a mong endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, peroxisome, or out of cells via diverse lipid transporters.
