Correlation between Photosynthesis and Plant Lipid Composition

چکیده
An attempt is reported to link changes in thylakoid lipid composition with the electron-transport and ATP-formation capability of the chloroplast. The observation that the monogalactolipid : phosphatid-ratio (M GDG/PL) of leaf sections shows a linear correlation with the P/2e value of simul taneously isolated Jensen-Bassham plastids was followed up experimentally for an in vitro plastid system. Lipid composition in these experiments was changed by illuminating the suspension with white light. The result shows, that similar dependencies can be obtained with both Jensen-Bassham chloroplasts and, up to a certain degree, chloroplast membrane fragments.

The correlation between major dietary patterns and blood lipid composition among children and Adolescents in Qazvin
Studies have indicated the prevalence of dyslipidemia in childhood and adolescence. It has been proven that eating habits, which are usually formed at early ages of childhood or adolescence, could affect people’s health later in life. This study aimed to examine the correlation between major dietary patterns and blood lipid composition in children and Adolescents of Minoodar neighborhood of the...
متن کاملLipid and Fatty Acid composition of chloroplast envelope membranes from species with differing net photosynthesis.
Lipid and fatty acid compositions were determined for chloroplast envelope membranes isolated from spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.), sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.), and maize (Zea mays L.) leaves. The lipid composition was similar in sunflower, spinach, and undifferentiated maize chloroplast envelope membranes and different in maize mesophyll chloroplast envelope membranes. The predominant lipi...
متن کاملPigment composition and optical rotatory dispersion of chloroplast fractions obtained by detergent action.
Plant photosynthesis is considered to consist of photochemical reactions originating from 2 separate pigment systems. Fractionation of the 2 photochemical systems has been demonstrated only recently by detergent treatment of spinach chloroplasts followed by di fferential centri ftugation ( 1, 9). This study shows that the light and heavy fractions obtained by either digitonin or Triton X-100 tr...
متن کاملEffect of short-term salinity on photosynthesis and ion relations in two sugar beet cultivars.
A factorial pot experiment was conducted based on randomized complete blocks design in green house condition to investigate the effect of short-term salt stress on leaf photosynthesis and ion relations of two sugar beet cultivars (Madison and 7233-P29). Plants were exposed to 0, 50, 150, 250, and 350 mM salinity (NaCl and CaCl2 in 5:1 molar ratio) for 48 hours. Measurements were done on younges...
متن کاملEffect of pod removal on leaf photosynthesis and soluble protein composition of field-grown soybeans.
Well nodulated, field-grown soybeans (Glycine max [L.] Merr. var Williams) were depodded just prior to seed development and near mid pod-fill. Both treatments caused a considerable increase in leaf dry weight, suggesting continued photosynthate production following pod removal. Moreover, depodding had a marked effect on leaf soluble protein without affecting total proteolytic activity. Early de...
