Membrane Lipid Physical Properties in Annuals Grown under Contrasting Thermal Regimes.
Trans-parinaric acid was used to determine the order/disorder transition temperatures of phospholipids extracted from leaves of warm- and cool-season annuals grown under contrasting thermal regimes. All species were capable of adjusting this property, although there was considerable variation in the extent of the adjustment.
