Abstract excerpt
Previous studies demonstrated that high levels of alpha-linolenate in cell membranes of potato tubers (achieved by overexpressing fatty acid desaturases) enhances lipid peroxidation, oxidative stress, and tuber metabolic rate, effectively accelerating the physiological age of tubers. This study details the changes in lipid molecular species of microsomal and mitochondrial membranes from wild-type (WT) and...
