Plasma membranes of oat root cells were isolated from intracellular membranes by subfractionation of the microsomal fraction using an aqueous polymer two-phase system. The plasma membranes originated from oat plants which were acclimated to dehydration by exposure to a repeated water-deficit stress program. Glucosylceramides was a major component of the plasma membrane lipids and amounted to 9% of the lipid of control plants and 5% of the lipid of acclimated plants. Structural analysis using FAB-MS showed only one type of glucosylceramides. The constituent monosaccharide was exclusively glucose and the sphingosine base was 4,8-sphingadienine. The fatty acid composition was determined to 24:1-OH, with only trace levels of non-hydroxy acids. The decrease in the level of glucosylceramides during acclimation to dehydration was accompanied by a corresponding decrease in phospholipids and increase in free sterols.
