Abstract excerpt
*In Arabidopsis thaliana, the amino acid sequences of membrane-associated acyl-CoA-binding proteins ACBP1 and ACBP2 are highly conserved. We have shown previously that, in developing seeds, ACBP1 accumulates in the cotyledonary cells of embryos and ACBP1 is proposed to be involved in lipid transfer. We show here by immunolocalization, using ACBP2-specific antibodies, that ACBP2 is also expressed in the embryos at...
