Chloroplasts are best known for their role in photosynthesis, but they also allow nitrogen and
sulphur assimilation, amino acid, fatty acid, nucleotide and hormone synthesis. How …

The paper focuses on the selected plant lipid issues. Classification, nomenclature, and
abundance of fatty acids was discussed. Then, classification, composition, role, and …

Photosynthetic organisms provide food and energy for nearly all life on Earth, yet half of their
protein-coding genes remain uncharacterized,. Characterization of these genes could be …

Fatty acids and lipids, which are major and essential constituents of all plant cells, not only
provide structural integrity and energy for various metabolic processes but can also function …

Chloroplasts contain high amounts of monogalactosyldiacylglycerol (MGDG) and
digalactosyldiacylglycerol (DGDG) and low levels of the anionic lipids …

Plastids (chloroplasts) have long been recognized to have originated by endosymbiosis of a
cyanobacterium, but their subsequent evolutionary history has proved complex because …

The ancestors of modern cyanobacteria invented O2-generating photosynthesis some 3.6
billion years ago. The conversion of water and CO2 into energy-rich sugars and O2 slowly …

Glycerolipids constituting the matrix of photosynthetic membranes, from cyanobacteria to
chloroplasts of eukaryotic cells, comprise monogalactosyldiacylglycerol …

Fatty acids (FAs) consist of long hydrophobic, often unbranched chains of hydrocarbons,
with hydrophilic carboxylic acid groups at one end. They are an important source of reserve …

The lipid bilayer of the thylakoid membrane in plant chloroplasts and cyanobacterial cells is
predominantly composed of four unique lipid classes; monogalactosyldiacylglycerol …
