Background Fatty acids synthesized in chloroplast are transported to endoplasmic reticulum
(ER) for triacylglycerols (TAGs) resembling. The development of chloroplast also requires …

Glycerolipid synthesis in plant cells is characterized by an intense trafficking of lipids
between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and chloroplasts. Initially, fatty acids are …

Chloroplasts and their surrounding cell are highly interdependent. One example is lipid
metabolism, where the cell depends on its chloroplasts to provide fatty acids for lipid …

The lipid composition of thylakoid membranes inside chloroplasts is conserved from leaves
to developing embryos. A finely tuned lipid assembly machinery is required to build these …

The biogenesis of photosynthetic membranes in plants relies largely on lipid import from the
endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and this lipid transport process is mediated by TGD proteins in …

The photosynthetic (thylakoid) membrane of plants is one of the most extensive biological
cell membrane systems found in Nature. It harbours the photosynthetic apparatus, which is …

Introduction Phosphoenolpyruvate/phosphate translocator (PPT) transports
phosphoenolpyruvate from the cytosol into the plastid for fatty acid (FA) and other …

Fatty acid synthesis in plants occurs in plastids, and thus, export for subsequent acyl editing
and lipid assembly in the cytosol and endoplasmatic reticulum is required. Yet, the transport …

Two parallel pathways compartmentalized in the chloroplast and the endoplasmic reticulum
contribute to thylakoid lipid synthesis in plants, but how these two pathways are coordinated …

Plant cells contain unique organelles such as chloroplasts with an extensive photosynthetic
membrane. In addition, specialized epidermal cells produce an extracellular cuticle …
