The synthesis of triacyl glycerol in developing oilseeds is generally divided into four stages. Stage I: Synthesis of saturated acyl-ACP by stepwise elongation of acetyl-ACP to steoryl- ACP CoA residue is then condensed to the malonyl ACP, forming acetoacetate ACP. Reduction and dehydration is followed by a second reduction to form acyl-ACP. Each of these […]
