Plant oils have a wide variety of uses, including food preparation, lubricants and fuels, and in specialty materials. They are environmentally responsible, renewable resources which also represent a significant commercial opportunity for growers and processors. Exploiting plant oils to their maximum potential will benefit greatly from a thorough understanding of the formation and storage of these materials in plants, and how these processes depend upon all elements of the plant growth environment, including the effects of gravity.
