Lipids comprise a large group of chemically heterogeneous compounds. The majority have
fatty acids (FA) as part of their structure, making these compounds suitable tools to examine …

Thylakoids of land plants have a bipartite structure, consisting of cylindrical grana stacks,
made of membranous discs piled one on top of the other, and stroma lamellae which are …

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

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

Algae are photosynthetic organisms with ubiquitous distribution and contain varied forms of
lipids owing to their extreme habitat diversity. This chapter presents detailed information on …

Like any other area in science, both the scope and depth of our knowledge of plant and crop
physiology are rapidly expanding. Plant/crop physiologists are continuously making new …

When oxygenic photosynthetic organisms are exposed to excessive light and/or heat,
Photosystem II is damaged and electron transport is blocked. In these events, reactive …

Salinity is a severe abiotic stress limiting agricultural yield and productivity. Plants have
evolved various strategies to cope with salt stress. Chloroplasts are important …

Thylakoids mediate photosynthetic electron transfer and represent one of the most elaborate
energy-transducing membrane systems. Despite our detailed knowledge of its structure and …

Sulfoquinovose (SQ), a derivative of glucose with a C6-sulfonate, is produced by
photosynthetic organisms and is the headgroup of the sulfolipid sulfoquinovosyl …
