Galactolipids fatty acid composition

St. John J.B., 1976. Manipulation of galactolipid fatty acid composition with substituted pyridazinones. Plant Physiol., 38-40. 

Chloroplast membranes differ from most other membranes in that the major portion of the non-pigmented lipids of the chloroplast are the linolenic acid-rich galactolipids, with sulfo-lipids and phospholipids present as the minor lipid constituents. The third site of action affected by pyridazinones in wheat shoots is the formation of galactolipids (, 3 ). The data in Table III summarize the effects of substituted pyridazinones on the relative fatty acid composition of wheat shoots.
