Overview: Covers all genome-sequenced oil crops.Shows illustrations exhibiting the oil biosynthesis mechanisms.Provides tables listing the key genes and enzymes role in oil biosynthesis pathway.Plants are an important source of fats and oils, which are essential for the human diet. In recent years, genomics of oil biosynthesis in plants have attracted great interest, especially in high oil-bearing plants, such as sesame, olive, sunflower, and palm. Considering that, genome sequencing projects of these plants have been undertaken with the help of advanced genomics tools such as next generation
