Simplified diagram showing biosynthesis of lipids involved in anther development in rice. De-novo synthesis of fatty acid occurs in plastid (shaded green) while the pathways for synthesis of Phosphatidic acid, CDP-Diacylglycerol and Diacylglycerol are present in both plastid and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) (shaded orange). MGDG and DGDG are synthesized in the plastid; TAG and other Phospholipids (Phosphatidylcholine, Phosphatidylethanolamine, Phosphatidylserine, Phosphatidylinositol) are synthesized in ER (shaded blue); while Phosphatidylglycerol is synthesized in plastid as well as ER and mitochondria. The circled numbers represent the most active site of the corresponding protein localization or function. ACC, acetyl-CoA carboxylase; ACT acetyl-CoA transferase; ACP, Acyl carrier protein; LPAT, Lysophosphatidic acid transferase; MGDG, Monogalactosyldiacylglycerol; DGDG, Digalactosyldiacylglycerol; TAG, Triacylglycerol
