The possible role of lipid bilayer properties in the evolutionary disappearance of betaine lipids in seed plants

Abstract: Phosphate is vital for plant and algae growth, yield, and survival, but in most environments, it is poorly available. To cope with phosphate starvation, photosynthetic organisms used their phospholipids as a phosphate reserve. In microalgae, betaine lipids replace phospholipids whereas, in higher plants, betaine lipid synthesis is lost, driving plants to other strategies. The aim of this work was to evaluate to what extent betaine lipids and PC lipids share physicochemical properties and could thus substitute … Show more
