title: Lipid metabolism in chromoplast membranes from the daffodil: Glycosylation and acylation.
abstract: The non-photosynthetic chromoplast membranes from the corona ofNarcissus pseudonarcissus L. were investigated for their lipid synthetic capabilities. The following activities were detected: galactosylation of diacylglycerol and galactosydiacylglycerols, glycosylation of sterols, acylation of monogalactosyldiacylglycerol and steryl glycosides from an unknown endogenous donor, acylation of phospholipids from acyl-CoA, and acylation of phosphatidyl inositol from phosphatidyl choline. Furthermore, activities of an acyl thioesterase, a sugar epimerase, and a phospholipase A2 were measured.
