Leucoplasts were isolated from the endosperm of developing castor (Ricinis communis) endosperm using a discontinuous Percoll gradient. The rate of fatty acid synthesis was highest when malate was the precursor, at 155 nanomoles acetyl-CoA equivalents per milligram protein per hour. Pyruvate and acetate also were precursors of fatty acid synthesis,...
