Polyunsaturated membranes are required for photosynthetic competence in a mutant of Arabidopsis.

The Plant journal : for cell and molecular biology - 1 Aug 1998

McConn M, Browse J

Abstract excerpt

High levels of polyunsaturation are characteristic of all the membranes of plant and animal cells. For example, the chloroplasts of leaf cells contain about 75-80% polyunsaturated fatty acids. For the extra-chloroplast membranes in leaf cells and the membranes of non-photosynthetic tissues, values of 60-65% are typical. We report here the production of Arabidopsis double mutants that contain negligible levels of...
