Galactolipid synthesis in chromoplast internal membranes of the daffodil

  • Published:
Planta Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Chromoplast internal membranes from Narcissus pseudonarcissus flowers (like chloroplast envelope membranes, as opposed to chloroplast thylakoids) were found to contain high galactolipid synthesizing activities when UDP-galactose plus diglyceride were applied to the purified preparations.
