Journal ArticleDOI
Biosynthesis of isoprenoids in higher plant chloroplasts proceeds via a mevalonate‐independent pathway
TL;DR: The dichotomy in isoprenoid biosynthesis in higher plants allows a reasonable interpretation of previous odd and inconclusive results concerning the biosynthesis of chloroplast isopranoids, which so far had mainly been interpreted in the frame of models using compartmentation of the mevalonate pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI
Two independent biochemical pathways for isopentenyl diphosphate and isoprenoid biosynthesis in higher plants
TL;DR: In higher plants, there exist two separate and biochemically different IPP biosynthesis pathways: (1) the novel alternative GAP/pyruvate pathway apparently bound to the plastidic compartment and (2) the classical cytoplasmic acetate/mevalonate pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rubisco without the Calvin cycle improves the carbon efficiency of developing green seeds
TL;DR: In developing embryos of Brassica napus L. (oilseed rape), Rubisco (ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase) acts without the Calvin cycle and in a previously undescribed metabolic context to increase the efficiency of carbon use during the formation of oil.
Journal ArticleDOI
Arabidopsis genes involved in acyl lipid metabolism. A 2003 census of the candidates, a study of the distribution of expressed sequence tags in organs, and a web-based database.

TL;DR: The genome of Arabidopsis has been searched for sequences of genes involved in acyl lipid metabolism and annotation of the lipolytic enzyme group has been improved by the critical examination of the biochemical literature and the sequences of the numerous proteins annotated as “lipases.”
Journal ArticleDOI
Biosynthesis of isoprenoids (carotenoids, sterols, prenyl side-chains of chlorophylls and plastoquinone) via a novel pyruvate/glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate non-mevalonate pathway in the green alga Scenedesmus obliquus.
TL;DR: The biosynthesis of all plastidic isoprenoids investigated, including the carotenoids beta-carotene and lutein, does not proceed via the classical acetate/mevalonate pathway, but via the novel glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate/pyruvate route recently detected in eubacteria.
