A plastid vesicle preparation isolated from exocarpium of young Citrofortunella mitis (calamondin) fruits was able to synthesise monoterpene hydrocarbons when incubated with isopentenyl pyrophosphate. The electron-microscope comparison between this organelle fraction and the various plastid classes
Leucoplasts of immature calamondin and satsuma fruits were incubated with [1-(14)C] isopentenyl pyrophosphate under various conditions. Optimal incorporation of the tracer into geranyl pyrophosphate and monoterpene hydrocarbons occurred in the presence of exogenous dimethylallyl pyrophosphate and
The capacity of leucoplasts to synthesize monoterpene hydrocarbons has been further investigated by studying the synthesis of higher-terpene homologues. Isolated leucoplasts were unable to esterify chlorophyllides into chlorophylls and to synthesize carotenoids. In addition, the later steps of
