Abstract excerpt
Thylakoid lipid composition in higher plants is characterized by a high level of fatty acid unsaturation. We have screened four mutants of Arabidopsis that have reduced levels of fatty acid unsaturation. Three of the mutant lines tested, fad5, fad6, and the fad3-2 fad7-2 fad8 triple mutant, were more susceptible to photoinhibition than wild-type Arabidopsis, whereas one mutant, fab1, was indistinguishable from...
