Pictured are cells from a MIEL1 mutant Arabidopsis seed with neutral lipids shown in magenta and a lipid droplet coat protein shown in green. Traver and Bartel used genetics and microscopy to explore the dynamic collaboration between lipid droplets and peroxisomes, organelles that store and catabolize fats, respectively.
