A comparative analysis of fatty acid composition was conducted in maize (Zea mays L.) under copper and cadmium stress. The unsaturation level (double-bond index) of phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) and digalactosyldiacylglycerol (DGDG) was increased in response to both metal treatments, whereas the
Galactolipase activity, the level of high-melting-point phosphatidylglycerol (HMP-PG) as well as degradation of lipids during chilling and rewarming were studied in seedlings of maize inbred lines with different chilling responses. In aged chloroplasts of chilling-sensitive (CS) lines, galactolipase
Synthetic propane diol lipids have been proposed as novel compounds to deliver cytocidal polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) such as gamma-linolenic (GLA) and eicosapentaenoic (EPA) acids. To assess the biodistribution and metabolism of these PUFA in immunodeficient mice bearing human pancreatic
Lipid molecular species compositions of chloroplast thylakoid membranes of mesophyll cells from Spinacia oleracea, Glycine max, Oryza sativa and Zea mays and of bundle sheath cells from Zea mays have been quantitatively determined. No significant difference in the lipid molecular species composition
The anther cuticle, which is mainly composed of lipid polymers, functions as physical barriers to protect genetic material intact; however, the mechanism of lipid biosynthesis in maize (Zea mays. L.) anther remains unclear. Herein, we report a male sterile mutant, male sterile 305
The membranes of Zea mays (maize) mesophyll cell (MC) chloroplasts are more vulnerable to salinity stress than are those of bundle sheath cell (BSC) chloroplasts. To clarify the mechanism underlying this difference in salt sensitivity, we monitored changes in the glycerolipid and fatty acid
