Abstract

Changes in the ultrastructure and lipid composition of etioplasts have been evaluated in three regions from the base to the tip of 8-day-old darkgrown wheat leaves and in the upper-2/3 region of etiolated leaves of different ages. In developing darkgrown tissues, the main morphological changes that etioplasts undergo consist of an increase in the amount of thylakoïds which, in the most mature etioplasts, align in parallel arrays. Concomitantly, galactolipids and sulfolipid form an increasing proportion of the total lipids. Trans-3-hexadecenoic acid was not detectable in phosphatidylglycerol (PG) of etioplasts showing appressed thylakoïds isolated from 5-day-old leaves, but was present in significant amounts in etioplasts in the basal part of 8-day-ols leaves in which membrane appression was barely visible. The proportions of this acid increase as etioplasts develop, reaching 25% of the PG fatty acids (1.2% of the total fatty acids) in the most differentiated etioplasts. In wheat etioplasts, it appears that trans-3-hexadecenoic acid may accumulate in considerable amounts in darkgrown tissues and that its accumulation is not directly involved in membrane appression.
