Abstract excerpt
The Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) fatty acid biosynthesis1 (fab1) mutant has increased levels of the saturated fatty acid 16:0, resulting from decreased activity of 3-ketoacyl-ACP synthase II. In fab1 leaves, phosphatidylglycerol, the major chloroplast phospholipid, contains >40% high-melting-point molecular species (HMP-PG; molecules that contain only 16:0, 16:1-trans, and 18:0 fatty acids)-a trait...
