Abstract excerpt
Chloroplast membranes contain high levels of the galactolipids monogalactosyldiacylglycerol (MGDG) and digalactosyldiacylglycerol (DGDG). The isolation of the genes involved in the biosynthesis of MGDG and DGDG, and the identification of galactolipid-deficient Arabidopsis mutants has greatly facilitated the analysis of galactolipid biosynthesis and function. Galactolipids are found in X-ray structures of...
