Abstract
A wide variety of environmental factors have been shown to produce effects — sometimes lethal — on plant lipid metabolism. These factors range from ‘natural’ influences (such as light) over which Man has little control to xenobiotics which are used deliberately (e.g. pesticides) or which enter the environment accidently. Some factors such as temperature, sulphur dioxide, oxides of nitrogen and ozone can be classed as ‘natural’ but their levels (and, therefore, their effects on plants) are exacerbated by human activities.
