Abstract excerpt
Phosphatidylglycerol is a ubiquitous phospholipid in the biological membranes of many organisms. In plants, phosphatidylglycerol is mainly present in thylakoid membranes and has been suggested to play specific roles in photosynthesis. Here, we have isolated two T-DNA tagged lines of Arabidopsis thaliana that have a T-DNA insertion in the PGP1 gene encoding a phosphatidylglycerolphosphate synthase involved in the...
