Abstract excerpt
The chloroplast membranes of all higher plants contain very high proportions of trienoic fatty acids. To investigate how these lipid structures are important in photosynthesis, we have generated a triple mutant line of Arabidopsis that contains negligible levels of trienoic fatty acids. For mutant plants grown at 22 degrees C, photosynthetic fluorescence parameters were indistinguishable from wild type at 25...
