Description: In this chapter the developmental morphology of the M. truncatula embryo is considered, and then there is a more specific consideration of the morphology and cellular distribution of oil bodies (also known as lipid droplets) and protein bodies (protein storage vacuoles, PSVs). Current understanding of the development of oil and protein bodies is reviewed together with the transcriptional and hormonal regulation of seed maturation, oil and seed protein storage. The final section considers biotechnological strategies for enhancing legume seed oil production and the potential for M. truncatula research in this area.
