This research explores the mechanism of oil body association in maize through the analysis of oil body-associated proteins: oleosin, caleosin, and steroleosin. Using the Kyte-Doolittle hydropathy index with a window size of 15 amino acids, we examine the hydropathy profiles of these proteins. Each signal on the X-axis corresponds to a segment of 10 amino acids, providing insights into the hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties that facilitate the formation and stability of oil bodies. The findings enhance our understanding of oil storage in plant tissues.
