Biochemical pathways in seed oil synthesis ScienceDirect
Oil produced in plant seeds is utilized as a major source of calories for human nutrition, as feedstocks for non-food uses such as soaps and polymers, and can serve as a high-energy biofuel. The biochemical pathways leading to oil (triacylglycerol)

Seeds as oil factories - PubMed
The seeds of higher plants represent valuable factories capable of converting photosynthetically derived sugars into a variety of storage compounds, including oils. Oils are the most energy-dense plant reserves and fatty acids composing these oils represent an excellent nutritional source. They supply humans with much of the calories

Expression of ZmLEC1 and ZmWRI1 Increases Seed Oil Production
Increasing seed oil production is a major goal for global agriculture to meet the strong demand for oil consumption by humans and for biodiesel production. Previous studies to increase oil synthesis in plants have focused mainly on manipulation of oil pathway genes.

Different plant sources of polyunsaturated fatty acids Vegetable oil is significantly involved in body fat, mainly obtained from seeds and in some cases from fruits such as olive oil
Physiological and developmental regulation of seed oil production
Beyond these physiological aspects, accumulation of TAGs is developmentally regulated in seeds. The oil biosynthetic process is initiated at the onset of the maturation phase, once embryo morphogenesis is achieved. A wealth of recent studies has shed new lights on the intricate regulatory network controlling the seed maturation phase, including
