“…In contrast, linoleic acid was characteristic of the winter samples at low altitude. During the winter months, PUFAs generally increased [62]. This can be attributed to a higher expression of delta12 and delta15 desaturases genes that drive the respective transformation of (i) oleic acid to linoleic acid and (ii) linoleic acid to linolenic acid [63].…”

“…This can be attributed to a higher expression of delta12 and delta15 desaturases genes that drive the respective transformation of (i) oleic acid to linoleic acid and (ii) linoleic acid to linolenic acid [63]. This corresponds to an acclimatization of the plant to lower temperatures [59,62]. At the level of cell membranes, it allows a maintenance of phospholipid fluidity and, thus, of membrane activity.…”

“…Therefore, during cold treatment, cold-tolerant cultivars appear to increase the content of 18:2 in PM lipids, whereas cold-sensitive cultivars instead increase the content of 18:3. An increase of fatty acid unsaturation of membrane lipids at low temperature is probably one of the metabolic modifications induced in order to retain the membrane fluidity [24]. The possible mechanism of this phenomenon is discussed in detail by Harwood [10].…”
