Liverworts

Complex oil bodies

The oil bodies of liverworts, occasionally dubbed complex oil bodies for distinction, are unique organelles exclusive to the Marchantiophyta. Oil body and complex oil bodies are liverworts and plant anatomy.

Elaiosome

Elaiosomes (ἔλαιον élaion "oil" + σόμα sóma "body") are fleshy structures that are attached to the seeds of many plant species.

See Oil body and Elaiosome

Essential oil

An essential oil is a concentrated hydrophobic liquid containing volatile (easily evaporated at normal temperatures) chemical compounds from plants.

See Oil body and Essential oil

Lipid

Lipids are a broad group of organic compounds which include fats, waxes, sterols, fat-soluble vitamins (such as vitamins A, D, E and K), monoglycerides, diglycerides, phospholipids, and others.

Marchantiophyta

The Marchantiophyta are a division of non-vascular land plants commonly referred to as hepatics or liverworts. Oil body and Marchantiophyta are liverworts.

Metzgeria

Metzgeria is a genus of thalloid liverworts in the family Metzgeriaceae.

See Oil body and Metzgeria

Nardia

Nardia is a genus of liverworts in the family Gymnomitriaceae.

See Oil body and Nardia

Oleosin

Oleosins are structural proteins found in vascular plant oil bodies and in plant cells.

See Oil body and Oleosin

Phospholipid

Phospholipids are a class of lipids whose molecule has a hydrophilic "head" containing a phosphate group and two hydrophobic "tails" derived from fatty acids, joined by an alcohol residue (usually a glycerol molecule).

See Oil body and Phospholipid

Ptilidium

Ptilidium is a genus of liverwort, and is the only genus in family Ptilidiaceae.

See Oil body and Ptilidium

Terpenoid

The terpenoids, also known as isoprenoids, are a class of naturally occurring organic chemicals derived from the 5-carbon compound isoprene and its derivatives called terpenes, diterpenes, etc.

See Oil body and Terpenoid

Triglyceride

A triglyceride (from tri- and glyceride; also TG, triacylglycerol, TAG, or triacylglyceride) is an ester derived from glycerol and three fatty acids.

See Oil body and Triglyceride

Vascular plant

Vascular plants, also called tracheophytes or collectively tracheophyta, form a large group of land plants (accepted known species) that have lignified tissues (the xylem) for conducting water and minerals throughout the plant.
