Analysis of one of the mutants that accumulated trigalactosyldiacylglycerol demonstrated that this mutant was defective in a permease-like protein of the outer chloroplastic envelope, which is proposed to be part of a lipid-transfer complex.

J Biol Chem. 277:2002;31994-32002 The authors describe a methodology for the automated profiling of the major plant polar lipid classes. They apply this strategy to identify the changes that occur in Arabidopsis during cold acclimation and freezing. Comparison of wildtype plants and plants that are defective in PLDα define the role of PLDα in the plant response to freezing.

The two pathways produce different PC molecular species. The combination of lipid profiling and stable isotope labeling should prove useful in elucidating other metabolic pathways.
