description The immunogold technique with anti-diacylglycerol acyltransferase 2 (DGAT2) antibody revealed in&lt;br /&gt;A. thaliana embryo and root meristematic cells gold particles manifesting the presence of DGAT2 in ER as well&lt;br /&gt;as in lipid bodies. This being so, lipid synthesis could take place both in ER and in the lipid bodies. The presence&lt;br /&gt;of microtubules around the lipid bodies was evidenced under transmission EM. Detection of tubulin around the&lt;br /&gt;lipid bodies using the immunogold technique with anti-a-tubulin is in agreement with the above observations.&lt;br /&gt;Connection of lipid bodies with microtubules was also detected by us in other plants where they probably participated&lt;br /&gt;in lipid synthesis. A similar phenomenon may take place in A. thaliana.<br>The immunogold technique with anti-diacylglycerol acyltransferase 2 (DGAT2) antibody revealed in&lt;br /&gt;A. thaliana embryo and root meristematic cells gold particles manifesting the presence of DGAT2 in ER as well&lt;br /&gt;as in lipid bodies.
