Name: monolayer-surrounded lipid storage body
Ontology: cellular_component
Synonyms: oil body, oilbody, oleosome, spherosome
Alternate IDs: GO:0009520
Definition: A subcellular organelle of plant cells surrounded by 'half-unit' or a monolayer membrane instead of the more usual bilayer. The storage body has a droplet of triglyceride surrounded by a monolayer of phospholipids, interacting with the triglycerides and the hydrophilic head groups facing the cytosol, and containing major protein components called oleosins.
