  • Title: Linoleate and alpha-linolenate synthesis by isolated spinach (Spinacia oleracea) chloroplasts.
    Author: Roughan PG, Mudd JB, McManus TT, Slack CR.
    Journal: Biochem J; 1979 Dec 15; 184(3):571-4. PubMed ID: 540049.
    Abstract:
    Diacylgalactosylglycerol synthesis was a prerequisite for the incorporation of [1-14C]-acetate into linoleate and alpha-linolenate of isolated spinach (Spinacia oleracea) chloroplasts. Oleate at position 1 of diacylgalactosylglycerol was desaturated to linoleate and alpha-linolenate both in the light and in the dark. Some desaturation of palmitate was also observed after prolonged incubations.
