Title: Concentrations of phosphatides and glycolipids in leaves and chloroplasts
Abstract: Deacylated leaf and chloroplast lipids were separated by two dimensional chromatography. Quantitative determinations were made of the 4 major phosphate diesters, and of the 3 major carbohydrate-glycerol compounds. From the comparison of whole leaves and chloroplasts, and similarly from the comparison of green and yellow leaves, it was concluded that the green chloroplasts are particularly enriched in phosphatidyl-glycerol and in mono- and digalactosyl lipids, the latter compounds occuring in concentrations approaching or exceeding 10−2M. Lecithin, cephalin, phosphatidylinositol, and the plant sulfolipid were not specifically linked to the photosynthetic apparatus.
