Glycerol-3-phosphate 1-acyltransferase is a soluble chloroplast enzyme involved in glycerol-lipid biosynthesis associated with chilling resistance in plants (1). Resistance is associated with higher selectivity for unsaturated acyl substrates over sa...

Fatty acid and lipid biosynthetic genes are expressed at constant molar ratios but different absolute levels during embryogenesis (2002)
Journal Article
O'Hara, P., Slabas, A., & Fawcett, T. (2002). Fatty acid and lipid biosynthetic genes are expressed at constant molar ratios but different absolute levels during embryogenesis. Plant Physiology, 129(1), 310-320. https://doi.org/10.1104/pp.010956

In plants, fatty acid and complex lipid synthesis requires the correct spatial and temporal activity of many gene products. Quantitative northern analysis showed that mRNA for the biotin carboxylase subunit of heteromeric acetyl-coenzyme A carboxylas...
