Deciphering carbohydrate/starch metabolisms in context of the oil yield in oil palm (Elaeis guineensis, Jacq.).

油棕是产量最高、最重要的产油植物。对棕榈油的需求正在迅速增长，需要采取措施来满足不断增长的需求。拟议的项目旨在表征油棕在增加石油产量的背景下的碳水化合物和淀粉代谢。由于已经发现油含量的升高与水果中淀粉含量的增加有关，因此淀粉代谢是计划分析的重点。此外，还将研究其他代谢物，特别是碳水化合物和碳水化合物衍生物、氨基酸以及蛋白质及其活性，以便更准确地了解油棕的代谢，从而能够影响油的生产。该项目是后来有针对性地操纵油棕含油量的基础。

Oil palms are the most productive and important plants for oil production. The demand for palm oil is growing rapidly and approaches are needed to meet the rising requirements. The proposed project aims to characterize carbohydrate and starch metabolism in oil palms in the context of increased oil production. Since it has been discovered that an elevated oil content is linked to a preceding increase in starch content in the fruit, starch metabolism is the focus of the planned analyses. Furthermore, other metabolites, especially carbohydrates and carbohydrate derivatives, amino acids, as well as proteins and their activities will be investigated in order to understand the metabolism in oil palms more precisely and thus to be able to influence the oil production. The project is basis for later targeted manipulations of the oil content of oil palms.
