Abstract excerpt
Acetyl-coenzyme A synthetase (ACS) is a plastidic enzyme that forms acetyl-coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA) from acetate and coenzyme A using the energy from ATP. Traditionally it has been thought to be the major source for the production of acetyl-CoA destined for fatty acid formation. Recent work suggested that the accumulation of lipids in developing Arabidopsis seeds was more closely correlated with the expression of...
