Abstract:

Oil body is an important oil storage organ that contains a matrix of triacylglycerol surrounded by a layer of
phospholipid with proteins inserted in it. Proteins in oil body have great effect on maintaining oil body as individual entities
and activating related enzymes on the surface of oil body during seed germination, which can be helpful for accelerating
metabolism and providing energy, thus promoting the growth of plants. This article systematically states the components,
structure of oil body, and the functions and structure of oil body proteins in order to provide a theoretical reference for the
industrial application of oil body.

Key words: oil body, oleosin, caleosin, steroleosin
