Triacylglycerols at the crossroads of lipid remodeling and stress tolerance in plants.
Review in Plant cell reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Triacylglycerols (TAGs), once considered passive storage reserves confined to seeds, are now recognized as dynamic components of plant lipid metabolism with pivotal roles in stress adaptation. Far from being inert carbon depots, TAGs function as metabolic buffers that integrate energy storage, membrane lipid remodeling, and cellular protection under fluctuating environmental conditions. Abiotic stresses such as temperature extremes, drought, salinity, and nutrient limitation disrupt membrane integrity and lipid homeostasis, leading to the release of free fatty acids and the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). TAG biosynthesis under these conditions acts as a protective sink, sequestering toxic lipid intermediates, preserving membrane stability, and maintaining redox balance. The dynamic turnover between membrane lipids and TAGs allows plants to rapidly reorganize their lipid composition, stabilizing membranes during cold or heat stress, buffering osmotic imbalance during drought and salinity, and mitigating photodamage under nutrient deprivation. Emerging evidence highlights that TAG accumulation is not merely a byproduct of stress but a strategically regulated process linked to hormonal and redox signaling pathways. This reprogramming of lipid metabolism supports energy redistribution, detoxification of reactive lipid species, and recovery following stress exposure. This review summarizes recent advances in understanding the biosynthetic, regulatory, and physiological roles of TAGs during abiotic stress. It discusses how TAG metabolism operates at the intersection of lipid remodeling, cellular homeostasis, and stress signaling, positioning TAGs as key determinants of plant resilience and promising targets for the biotechnological enhancement of crop stress tolerance.
