Abstract excerpt

The ultrastructure of thylakoid membranes from Arabidopsis thaliana wild-type, JB67 and LK3 fatty acid desaturation deficient mutants was studied by thin-section and freeze-fracture electron microscopy. There was a decrease in the amount of the appressed and non-appressed membranes in JB67 and LK...
