Isolation of oil bodies and microsomes from developing seeds of Brassica napus var. Reston and microsomes from epidermal cells of Allium porrum L. leaves was carried out as described previously [4,6]. Elongase and acyl-CoA synthetase assays were done as outlined before using either [ " C]malonyl-CoA (58 LiCi/ Limol), [ C]18 l (56 LiCi/ Limol), [ C]18 0 (50 LiCi/ Limol), [ C]18 l-CoA (56 p,Ci/ imol),...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fimgi were propagated in pot-culture over leek plants Allium porrum L.). Spores were isolated by wet-sieving and sucrose gradient techniques and preserved by lyophilization (Dalpe, 1991). The 16 studied species are listed in Table 1.

It has been shown vitro that in leek (Allium porrum L.) epidermis cells very long chain fatty acids (VLCFA) are synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum. Moreover, VLCFA are more abundant in the plasma membrane (up to 20% of the total fatty acids) than in the endoplasmic reticulum. It was suggested that an eventual transfer of VLCFA from their site of synthesis (ER) to the plasma membrane could occur. ...
