Membranes are composed of diacylglycerols – Glycerol with two fatty acids • Storage lipids are triglycerides – a glycerol with three fatty acids

Most plant membranes are made of phospholipids • However the chloroplast is composed mostly of galactolipids (MGDG and DGDG) and sulfolipids
LIPIDS • Fatty Acids are synthesized in chloroplasts • Diacylglycerols (DAG) are made in both chloroplast envelopes and the ER • If the 2-position has a 16:0 lipid the DAG was made in the chloroplast envelope • If the 2 position is 18:1 then the DAG was made in the ER
Prokaryotic pathway (in the plastid)
Eukaryotic pathway In the ER
Plants store lipids in oil bodies • These are composed of triglycerides • Oil bodies bud off of the ER • A number of plants contain unusual fatty acids in their oli bodies • Rape seed – Erucic acid (C22:1 ) • Caster oil – ricinoleic acid (12-OH C18:1 ) Δ13 Δ9
Breakdown of stored lipids • This occurs in germinating seeds • Plants can convert stored lipids to hexoses for transport • Fatty acids hexoses sucrose • Sucrose is transported to the growing tissues
Breakdown of stored lipids • Fatty acids are broken down to acetyl CoA via beta oxidation • Occurs in the glyoxysome • Acetyl CoA is then converted to succinate via the glyoxylate cycle also in the glyoxysome • Succinate is converted to PEP in the mitochondria and cytoplasm • PEP is converted to sugar via gluconeogenesis
