physiological function | functional expression of MGD1 in Synechocystis sp. to obtain a viable monoglucosyldiacylglycerol-deficient mutant of the cyanobacterium. Monoglucosyldiacylglycerol is not essential for its growth and photosynthesis under a set of normal growth conditions when monogalactosyldiacylglycerol is adequately supplied by the Arabidopsis monogalactosyldiacylglycerol synthase. The mutant has healthy thylakoidmembranes and normal pigment content. The membrane lipid composition of the mutant is similar to wild-type except for lack of monoglucosyldiacylglycerol and a slight increase in the level of phosphatidylglycerol at both normal and low temperatures.The ratio of unsaturated fatty acids in monogalactosyldiacylglycerol and digalactosyldiacylglycerol is reduced in the mutant compared with wild-type. The growth of the mutant is indistinguishable with that of wild-type at normal growth temperature, it is markedly retarded at low temperature | Arabidopsis thaliana |
