The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

The subcellular localization of β-oxidation of fatty acids in plants has been the subject of controversy for many years. Peroxisomes have been accepted as the sole site of fatty acid β-oxidation for the past 15 years, whilst a proposed dual location, in both mitochondria and peroxisomes, has been disputed. Accumulated evidence demonstrating mitochondrial β-oxidation now demands that a dual location for plant β-oxidation must be considered.
