Dynamic Membrane Lipid Changes in Reveal Developmental and Environmental Adaptations.

Membrane lipid composition is critical for an organism's growth, adaptation, and functionality. Mosses, as early non-vascular land colonizers, show significant adaptations and changes, but their dynamic membrane lipid alterations remain unexplored. Here, we investigated the temporal changes in membrane lipid composition of the moss during five developmental stages and analyzed the acyl content and composition of the lipids.
