A suppressor of fab1 challenges hypotheses on the role of thylakoid unsaturation in photosynthetic function.

Abstract excerpt

Leaf membrane lipids of the Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) fatty acid biosynthesis 1 (fab1) mutant contain a 35% to 40% increase in the predominant saturated fatty acid 16:0, relative to wild type. This increase in membrane saturation is associated with loss of photosynthetic function and death of mutant plants at low temperatures. We have initiated a suppressor screen for mutations that allow survival of...
