Abstract excerpt
Lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase (LPCAT) is a key enzyme in the Lands cycle that mediates the interconversion of phosphatidylcholine (PC) and lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC). A proper balance between LPC and PC is essential for phospholipid turnover and membrane homeostasis. In this study, we show that the Arabidopsis lpcat double mutant exhibits an altered LPC/PC ratio in root tissues, reflecting a...
