The Acetate Pathway Supports Flavonoid and Lipid Biosynthesis in Arabidopsis.

Abstract excerpt

The phenylpropanoid pathway of flavonoid biosynthesis has been the subject of considerable research attention. By contrast, the proposed polyketide pathway, also known as the acetate pathway, which provides malonyl-CoA moieties for the C2 elongation reaction catalyzed by chalcone synthase, is less well studied. Here, we identified four genes as candidates for involvement in the supply of cytosolic malonyl-CoA...
