In plant cells, major phospholipids are phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylserine, phospahtidylinositol and phosphatidylglycerol. Bisphosphatidylglycerol and cardiolipin are found in lesser amount (Guschina et al., 2014). Diacylglycerol (a pathway intermediate) is used in production of other glycosylglycerides. Compartmentation of phospholipid biosynthesis is complex, apparantly involving at least three compartments to produce final product. These compartments include mitochondria, golgi apparatus, endoplsmic reticulum and chloroplasts. There is different level of dependency and independency of these organelles for different biosynthetic steps, which still needs to be explored.
