Abstract excerpt
Pollen germination and pollen tube elongation require rapid phospholipid production and remodeling in membrane systems that involve both de novo synthesis and turnover. Phosphatidic acid phosphohydrolase (PAH) and lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase (LPCAT) are 2 key enzymes in membrane lipid maintenance. PAH generates diacylglycerol (DAG), a necessary precursor for the de novo synthesis of...
