Table 3.

Amount of lipid in each head group class and total lipids in A. thaliana and C. himalaica during high and low temperature alteration in the growth chamber. ‘R’ and ‘F’ indicate that the temperature was rising and falling, respectively. The relative change (RC) in lipids from −7 to 45°C is the percentage value for the difference between the values at −7 and 45°C over the values at −7°C; the largest relative change (LRC) in lipids is the percentage value of the difference between the maximum and minimum values over the minimum values. Values in the same row with different letters are significantly different (P < 0.05). Values are means ± SD (n = 4 or 5).
