DGDG, a chloroplast lipid, is a bilayer-forming lipid. DGDG is important for photosynthesis, and can be used for drug delivery^[1].

Apart from facilitating the photosynthesis light reaction in the thylakoid membrane, DGDG is important for maintaining chloroplast morphology and for plant survival under abiotic stresses such as phosphate starvation and freezing. During phosphate limitation, the amounts of DGDG increase in the plastids of plants, and DGDG is exported to extraplastidial membranes to replace phospholipids^[1].
