Mitochondria Increase Three-Fold and Mitochondrial Proteins and Lipid Change Dramatically in Postmeristematic Cells in Young Wheat Leaves Grown in Elevated CO2
TL;DR: An almost 3-fold increase in the number of mitochondria was observed in the very young leaf cells at the base of the first leaf of a 7-d-old wheat plant grown in elevated CO2, suggesting that the numerous documented positive effects of elevatedCO2 on wheat leaf development are initiated as early as 12 h postmitosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Changes in the acyl lipid composition of photosynthetic bacteria grown under photosynthetic and non-photosynthetic conditions.
TL;DR: Analysis of the lipids of chromatophores, isolated from the three bacteria, showed that these preparations were enriched in phosphatidylglycerol, and a large increase in this phospholipid appeared, therefore, to be due to a proliferation of Chromatophore membranes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Radiolabelling studies of acyl lipids in developing seeds of Brassica napus: Use of [1-14C]acetate precursor
Hilary J. Perry,John L. Harwood +1 more
TL;DR: The distribution of labelling within the fatty acids of individual lipid classes was studied and the results showed that the PLs contained significantly more palmitate and significantly lessoleate than the TAGs for embryos at all stages of development.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lipid composition of the brown algae fucus vesiculosus and Ascophyllum nodosum
A. Lesley Jones,John L. Harwood +1 more
TL;DR: The lipid composition of the two brown marine algae, Fucus vesiculosus and Ascophyllum nodosum, was very similar and phosphatidylglycerol was the most saturated glycolipid with high proportions of palmitate and oleate.
Journal ArticleDOI
A comparison of lipase activity in various cereal grains
TL;DR: Direct and indirect evidence for a contribution of microbial contamination to total wheat lipase activity is obtained and neither wheat nor oat lipase showed any obvious substrate specificity, although the reduced yield of polyunsaturated fatty acids liberated by the oat Lipase showed evidence of oxidative reactions.
