title: State of the lipid and fatty acid composition in chloroplasts of Nicotiana tabacum under the influence of an increased CO2 partial pressure of 700 p.p.m.
abstract: We analysed chloroplast lipids of Nicotiana tabacum var. John William's Broadleaf, cultivated under an increased PCO(2) of 700 p.p.m. Glycolipids and phospholipids remain constant under these conditions, whereas the carotenoid content undergoes a quantitative change. The saturation degree of fatty acids increases due to an increase in palmitic acid and decreases in hexadecatrienoic acid and linolenic acid.
