Plasma membranes were isolated from oat (Avena sativa) roots by the phase-partitioning method. The membranes were exposed to repeated periods of moderate water-deficit stress, and a water-deficit tolerance was induced (acclimated plants). The plasma membranes of the controls (nonacclimated plants) were characterized by a high phospholipid content, 79% of total lipids, cerebrosides (9%) containing hydroxy fatty acids (>90% 24:1-OH) and free sterols, acylated sterylglucosides, sterylglucosides, and steryl esters, together amounting to 12%. Major phospholipids were phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine with lesser amounts of phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol, and phosphatidic acid. After the membranes were acclimated to dehydration, the lipid to protein ratio decreased from 1.3 to 0.7 micromoles per milligram. Furthermore, the cerebrosides decreased to 5% and free sterols increased from 9% (nonacclimated plants) to 14%. Because the total phospholipids did not change significantly, the free sterol to phospholipid ratio increased from 0.12 to 0.19. There was no change in the relative distribution of sterols after acclimation. The ratio of phosphatidylcholine to phosphatidylethanolamine changed from 1.1 in the nonacclimated plants to 0.69 in the acclimated plants. The results show that acclimation to dehydration implies substantial alterations in the lipid composition of the plasma membrane.
