Abstract
We analysed chloroplast lipids of Nicotiana tabacum var. John William's Bro adleaf, cultivated under an increased Pco(2) of 700 p.p.m. Glycolipids and phospholipids remain constant under these conditions, whereas the carotenoi d content undergoes a quantitative change. The saturation degree of fatty a cids increases due to an increase in palmitic acid and decreases in hexadec atrienoic acid and linolenic acid.
