The role of very long chain fatty acids in Arabidopsis growth and development

Very long chain fatty acids (VLCFAs) are essential to Arabidopsis growth and development. VLCFAs are found in sphingolipids, glycerophospholipids, triacylglycerols, suberin and cuticular waxes. VLCFAs are synthesized by the addition of 2 carbons from malonyl-CoA to pre-existing acyl-CoAs to produce...
