Model pathway for acyl-CoA conversion in Arabidopsis stem cuticle wax metabolism. Long chain acyl-CoAs serve as substrates in the synthesis of cuticle lipids (Kolattukudy, 1996). The rst1 mutation primarily blocks synthesis of free aldehydes and its metabolites (represented by a gray bar), suggesting that the RST1 protein may function in acyl-CoA reduction. The secondary alcohols and ketones are metabolites of alkanes (not shown).
