a
MGDG contains a minor amount of monoglucosyldiacylglycerol. The values are the averages from two independent experiments.
b
Thylakoid membranes were isolated from the cells grown in the presence of 20 μm PG.
c
Cells grown in the presence of PG were transferred to medium without PG, incubated for 5 d, and then thylakoid membranes were isolated.
