TL;DR: It was shown that CoA was acting as a competitive inhibitor of the carnitine-stimulated O2 uptake and it was suggested that palmitoylacarnitine and carnitines passed through the mitochondrial barrier with ease but palMIToylCoA and CoA did not.

TL;DR: It is suggested that L-carnitine and carnitine acyltransferases play a central role in plant acyl CoA metabolism by facilitating the transfer of activated acyl groups across membranes (acyl CoA barriers).

TL;DR: Subcellular localization of β-oxidation of fatty acids in plants has been the subject of controversy for many years, but accumulated evidence demonstrating mitochondrial β-Oxidation now demands that a dual location for plant β- oxidation must be considered.

TL;DR: Carnitine-acetyltransferase and carnitines-palmitoyltransferase activities were shown to be present in chloroplasts of green pea leaves and possibly to occur in leaf mitochondrial and peroxisomal fractions.

TL;DR: The nucleotide sequence of a cDNA clone from Arabidopsis thaliana ecotype Columbia was determined, and the corresponding amino sequence deduced, and a potential mitochondrial targeting sequence at the N-terminus was deduced.
