Abstract
A 14-day period of anoxia resulted in losses of polar lipids, particularly their saturated fatty acid components, from the anoxia-tolerant species Iris pseudacorus. By complete contrast, the anoxia-intolerant, closely related species I. germanica, although possessing a highly similar lipid profile, exhibited no changes in lipid composition in response to anoxia. The consequences of the lipid alterations in I. pseudacorus for membrane function and their possible role in adaptation to anoxia are discussed.
