e0“The influence of nickel (Ni) and/or selenium (Se) on phospholipid composition was studied in shoots and roots of wheat seedlings”
e2“In the shoots, the phosphatidylcholine/phosphatidylethanolamine ratio was about fivefold higher than in roots and decreased in Ni-treated samples”

Other claims from this paper (7)
- Association Ni toxicity in wheat roots is associated with an elevated level of phosphatidic acid species.
- Intervention effect Ni decreased the phosphatidylcholine/phosphatidylethanolamine ratio in wheat shoots.
- Observation Concentrations of phospholipid species containing C 18:3 fatty acid were reduced in wheat.
- Intervention effect Selenium did not counterbalance the negative effect of Ni on the phospholipid composition of wheat roots and shoots.
- Intervention effect Phospholipid profiles of wheat seedlings exposed to Se alone were more similar to the control.
- Observation Principal component analysis confirmed compositional changes in phospholipids of wheat under Ni and Ni + Se.
- Observation A total of 39 lipid species were identified in wheat.
