[The aminoacyl phosphatidyl glycerols of the plastid membrane system in the process of chloroplast biogenesis].

The composition of aminoacyl phosphatidyl glycerols in maize plastids at different stages of chloroplast differentiation has been studied. In the course of incubation of 14C amino acids or 14CO2 with maize and bean seedlings in vivo the 14C amino acids were incorporated preferably into the acid phospholipid fraction, forming O-esters of amino acids with phosphatidylglycerols. The rate of lipoamino acid compounds formation increased with the chloroplast differentiation and reached its maximum in the seedlings containing chloroplasts with a developed lamellar system. Changes in the amino acid composition of 14C aminoacyl phosphatidyl glycerols were observed at all stages of chloroplast ultrastructure development.
