Abstract
The fatty acids of plastids from several types of mineral-deficient and senescent tissues were analyzed. Incorporation of acetate into long-chain fatty acids of leaf tissue and of plastids from nitrogen-deficient and normal plants was determined. In general, the senescent and nitrogen-deficient chloroplasts contained a higher ratio of saturates to unsaturates than did plastids from younger tissues and from tissues grown on a complete nutrient.Keywords
