Different classes of plant lipids and their localization in the plant cell. (A) Chemical structures of plant glycosylated lipids: monogalactosyldiacylglycerol (MGDG) and digalactosyldiacylglycerol (DGDG). (B) Chemical structures of plant (glycosyl)sphingolipids: long-chain base (LCB) 4,8-sphingadienine, ceramide (Cer), glucosylceramide (GlcCer), glucosylinositol phosphoryl ceramides (GIPC) and oligoglycosylceramide. (C) Chemical structures of plant sterols (green) versus the animal counterparts (blue). Plant cell image illustrating the localization of lipid classes: (A) stands for MGDG and DGDG, (B) for plant (glycosyl)sphingolipids, and (C) for plant sterols.
