Abstract Bell peppers are vulnerable to low temperature (<7�C) and subject to chilling injury (CI). To elucidate the relationship between cell membrane lipid composition and CI, a membrane lipidomic approach was taken. In addition, we performed microstructural analysis and low-field nuclear magne...
