Glycerol-3-phosphate (G3P) is an essential component of all glycerolipids. Despite this importance, little is known about its synthesis and supply to the different sites of lipid synthesis in plants. G3P is present in (at least) the plastids and cytoplasm of cells. It has been demonstrated that it can be synthesized via two metabolic pathways (Frentzen, 1993). It can be formed from dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) by the action of a NAD+-G3P oxidoreductase in both the chloroplast and cytoplasm of leaves (Santora et al., 1979; Gee et al., 1988a, b, c and 1989; Kirsch et al., 1992), and in immature seeds ofBrassica campestris(Sharma et al., 2001). G3P can also be generated from DHAP by the glycerokinase-mediated, glycerol-phosphorylation pathway in the cytoplasm (Gosh and Sastry, 1988). Except in developing groundnut seeds (Gosh and Sastry, 1988), both pathways can be found, therefore raising the question of the respective role and importance of the different pathways and their regulation.
