Abstract: | The free sterol and phospholipid of the leaves and roots of Triticum aestivum var. MEC seedlings, grown at different temperatures, were determined. During growth, free sterols increased in the leaves and roots at optimum temperature (21°) whereas in the cold treatment (1°) they remained significantly unchanged despite an increase of cholesterol of the leaves indicating a higher degree of regulation of membrane structure under cold conditions. Phospholipid from both groups of plants increased in the leaves and in the roots during all the experimental period, although at a lower degree in the cold treated plants. The molar ratio of free sterol/phospholipids suggested a less ordered membrane structure in the cold treated leaves and roots. |
