Effect of corn root adaptation to low pHe on the lipid-to-protein, the phospholipid-to-protein, and the phospholipid-to-lipid ratios in the plasmalemma
| pHe | Lipid:Protein | Phospholipid:Protein | Phospholipid:Lipid |
|---|---|---|---|
| w/w | % | ||
| 6.0 | 2.28 (±0.12) | 0.82 (±0.03) | 35.9 (±1.0) |
| 3.5 | 2.34 (±0.10) | 0.87 (±0.03) | 37.5 (±2.1) |
Ratios were calculated from concentrations determined in the plasmalemma of 3-week-old corn roots grown at pHe 6.0 and 3.5, respectively. The values represent means (± se) of four isolations.
