Journal ArticleDOI
Regulation of fatty acid synthesis
John B. Ohlrogge,Jan G. Jaworski +1 more
TL;DR: This review evaluates current knowledge of regulation of plant fatty metabolism and attempts to identify the major unanswered questions.
Journal ArticleDOI
KCS1 encodes a fatty acid elongase 3‐ketoacyl‐CoA synthase affecting wax biosynthesis in Arabidopsis thaliana
TL;DR: Since alcohol, aldehyde, alkane and ketone levels were affected to varying degrees, involvement of the KCS1 synthase in both the decarbonylation and acyl-reduction wax synthesis pathways was demonstrated, indicating that there was redundancy in the elongase KCS activities involved in wax synthesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Separation and identification of major plant sphingolipid classes from leaves.
TL;DR: In extracts from A. thaliana leaves, hexosehexuronic-inositolphosphoceramides, monohexosylceramide, and ceramides accounted for ∼64, 34, and 2% of the total sphingolipids, respectively, suggesting an important role for the anionic sphingoipids in plant membranes.
Journal ArticleDOI
A New Set of Arabidopsis Expressed Sequence Tags from Developing Seeds. The Metabolic Pathway from Carbohydrates to Seed Oil
Joseph A. White,James Todd,Thomas C. Newman,Nicole Focks,Thomas Girke,Oscar Martinez de Ilarduya,Jan G. Jaworski,John B. Ohlrogge,Christoph Benning +8 more
TL;DR: This study emphasizes the import of photosynthate into developing embryos, its conversion into seed oil, and the regulation of this pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI
In vivo pools of free and acylated acyl carrier proteins in spinach. Evidence for sites of regulation of fatty acid biosynthesis.
TL;DR: Data suggest that the differences in acyl-ACP patterns reflect a tissue/organ-specific difference rather than an isoform- specific difference, and that light/dark control over the rate of fatty acid biosynthesis occurs at the reaction catalyzed by acetyl-CoA carboxylase.
