Overexpression of PDAT1 Enhances the Rate of FAS in Leaves.
(A) Initial rates of FAS in growing leaves of 7-week-old wild-type (WT), PDAT1-overexpressing line 3 (PDAT1 #3), and PDAT1-overexpressing line 16 (PDAT1 #16) measured by 14C-acetate labeling.
(B) The distribution of label into TAG and polar lipids after labeling of detached leaves with 14C-acetate for 60 min.
Values in (A) and (B) are means and sd of three biological replicates. Asterisks indicate statistically significant differences from the wild type based on Student’s t test (P < 0.05).
