Characterization of H(+)-ATPase activity in plasma membrane from pea seedlings under altered gravity

J Gravit Physiol. 2004 Jul;11(2):P205-6.

Abstract

The specific properties and characteristics of the H+-ATPase, lipid and fatty acids content and composition in plasma membrane vesicles isolated from pea seedlings grown under clinorotation (2 rev/min) and stationary conditions were studied.
