Data were calculated based on results of Supplemental Table 1 and Figure 1 according to methods of Browse et al. (1986) and Shen et al. (2010). C16 represents the sum of 16:0, 16:l, 16:2, and 16:3; C18 represents the sum of 18:0, 18:1, 18:2, and 18:3.

a

An original input of 1000 mole of fatty acids biosynthesized in the chloroplast as acyl-ACP species.

b

Each lipid species was divided between the prokaryotic and eukaryotic pathways on the basis of content of C16 at the sn-2 position.
