Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Plant lipids are basic structure components in membranes and also play a critical role in intracellular storage to maintain cellular energy homeostasis. Lipids are constantly recycled and redistributed within a cell. Autophagy is a universal mechanism that facilitates the degradation of unwanted cytoplasmic components in eukaryotic cells. Autophagosomes are double-membrane vesicles newly formed during autophagy to engulf intracellular materials and transport them to vacuoles for subsequent degradation. With the improvement of various detection techniques, recent studies have found that there is a relationship and link between lipid and autophagy. This Special Issue, which welcomes original research papers, reviews, perspectives, and opinions, aims to cover a wide spectrum of aspects concerning Lipids and Autophagy in Plants.
