Abstract excerpt
Galactolipids comprise the majority of chloroplast membranes in plants, and their biosynthesis requires dephosphorylation of phosphatidic acid at the chloroplast envelope membranes. In Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), the lipid phosphate phosphatases LPPγ, LPPε1, and LPPε2 have been previously implicated in chloroplast lipid assembly, with LPPγ being essential, as null mutants were reported to exhibit embryo...
