Journal ArticleDOI
Biosynthesis of phosphatidylcholine by enzyme preparations from spinach leaves
K.A. Devor,J.R. Mudd +1 more
TL;DR: The enzyme did not show any diglyceride specificity when exogenous diglycerides was added, indicating that fatty acid distribution in phosphatidylcholine of spinach is not controlled by choline phosphotransferase.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structural analysis of phosphatidylcholine of plant tissue.
K.A. Devor,J.B. Mudd +1 more
TL;DR: Pure preparations of phosphatidylcholine were isolated from spinach leaf chloroplasts, spinach leaf microsomes, and cauliflower inflorescence and showed that saturated fatty acids were preferentially esterified at position 1 and unsaturated fatty acids at position 2.
Journal ArticleDOI
Control of fatty acid distribution in phosphatidylcholine of spinach leaves
K.A. Devor,J.B. Mudd +1 more
TL;DR: The acylation of lysophosphatidylcholine by enzyme preparations from spinach leaves was studied and the pattern of incorporation agrees with the fatty acid distribution in vivo.
