Bypassing flux through PC increases C16:0 incorporation into the sn-2 position of TAG. (A) Effect of pdct mutant background on percentage of C16:0 esterified to the sn-2 position of TAG in ProGLY:∆CTS-LPAT1 and ProGLY:∆CTS-LPAT1 lpat2-3 seeds. WT, wild type; L11, homozygous ProGLY:∆CTS-LPAT1 line. (B) Seed weight and (C) percentage oil content of WT and ProGLY:∆CTS-LPAT1 lpat2-3 pdct (All). Values are the mean ± SE of measurements on separate seed batches from between 3 and 6 plants in A and 5 plants in B and C of each genotype (n = 3–6). a and b denote values significantly (P < 0.05) different from L11 and pdct, respectively (ANOVA + Tukey HSD test) and c from WT (2-tailed Student’s t test).
