Abstract
Some organelles in plant cells contain abundant neutral lipids, which are associated with specific amphipathic proteins. The proteins stabilize the lipids and may perform additional functions. Two types of such proteins, the oleosins and the plastid-lipidassociated proteins (PAPs), have been recognized.
