Abstract
The acetyl-CoA carboxylase present in both wheat germ and total wheat leaf protein contains ca 220 kDa subunits It is the major biotin-dependent carboxylase present in wheat chloroplasts Active acetyl-CoA carboxylase purified from wheat germ is a homodimer with an apparent molecular mass of ca 500 kDa The enzyme from wheat germ or from wheat chloroplasts is sensitive to the herbicide haloxyfop at micromolar levels The incorporation of 14C-acetate into fatty acids in freshly cut wheat seedling leaves provides a convenient in vivo assay for both acetyl-CoA carboxylase and haloxyfop
