Some aspects of carnitine metabolism in avocado (Persea americana) (Short Communication)

R A Panter et al. Biochem J. 1973 Jun.

Abstract

The fact that palmitoyl-l-carnitine is oxidized by avocado mitochondria at a rate comparable with that of succinate oxidation suggests that there are at least two systems for beta-oxidation in higher plants. The carnitine-associated system is located in a mitochondrial fraction, whereas the glyoxylate-cycle-associated system is located in the glyoxysomes.
