Abstract
Summary The composition of the main phospholipids: phosphatidyl choline, phosphatidyl ethanolamine, phosphatidyl inositol and phosphatidyl glycerol in leaves of Z. mays and P. vulgaris, as well as their changes after treatment of the plants with lead and sodium acetate were investigated. The relative concentrations of individual PL were affected significantly by lead and acetate ions. Lead treatment caused an increase of phospholipid concentrations. The relative concentrations of phosphatidyl glycerol decreased and these of phosphatidyl choline increased. Sodium acetate treatment probably leads to some type of salt stress, resulting in an increase of phosphatidyl glycerol concentrations and decrease of phosphatidyl ethanolamine concentrations. The amount of saturated fatty acids decreased and these of linolenic acid increased in all investigated samples.
