Intracellular Transfer of Phospholipids, Galactolipids, and Fatty Acids in Plant Cells

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Subcellular Biochemistry ((SCBI,volume 16))

Abstract

The biosynthesis of lipids in plant cells has been extensively studied (Mazliak et al., 1982; Moore, 1984; Heemskerk and Wintermans, 1987; Harwood, 1988). This formation of lipids is essential for membrane biogenesis, which allows plant growth and development. These studies on lipid metabolism revealed several needs for intracellular fluxes of lipids. It has been established that some phospholipids, such as phosphatidylcholine (PC), are found in all membranes of higher plants, including chloroplasts; however, the biosynthesis of PC is confined to the membranes of the endoplasmic reticulum. A mechanism for intracellular transfer of this phospholipid from endoplasmic reticulum to organelles unable to perform this biosynthesis, such as mitochondria or chloroplasts, is therefore needed.
