An Endoplasmic Reticulum Protein Involved in Lipid Transfer to Chloroplasts

Abstract

Chloroplast thylakoid membranes are predominantly made up of two galactoglycerolipids, monogalactosyldiacylglycerol (MGDG) and digalactosyldiacylglycerol (DGDG). It has been hypothesized that many plants can synthesize these polar lipids via both a plastid pathway and an endoplasmic reticulum (ER)
