The paper focuses on the selected plant lipid issues. Classification, nomenclature, and abundance of fatty acids was discussed. Then, classification, composition, role, and organization of lipids were displayed. The involvement of lipids in xantophyll cycle and glycerolipids synthesis (as the most abundant of all lipid classes) were also discussed. Moreover, in order to better understand the biomembranes remodeling, the model (artificial) membranes, mimicking the naturally occurring membranes are employed and the survey on their composition and application in different kind of research was performed. High level of lipids remodeling in the plant membranes under different environmental conditions, e.g., nutrient deficiency, temperature stress, salinity or drought was proved. The key advantage of lipid research was the conclusion that lipids could serve as the markers of plant physiological condition and the detailed knowledge on lipids chemistry will allow to modify their composition for industrial needs.
本文主要关注植物脂质的相关问题，包括脂肪酸的分类、命名和丰度。接着，介绍了脂质的分类、组成、功能和结构。还讨论了脂质在叶黄素循环和甘油磷脂合成（所有脂质中最丰富的一类）中的作用。此外，为了更好地理解生物膜的重塑，采用了模拟天然膜的模型（人工）膜，并对其组成和在不同研究中的应用进行了调查。研究表明，在不同的环境条件下，植物膜中的脂质会进行高水平的重塑，例如，在营养缺乏、温度胁迫、盐度或干旱等条件下。脂质研究的一个主要优势是可以得出这样的结论：脂质可以作为植物生理状况的标志物，而对脂质化学的深入了解将允许根据工业需求来改变它们的组成。
