Abstract
Acetate-1-C14 was supplied to developing seeds of flax, rape, and safflower in short term kinetic experiments. Oleic acid was the first long-chain fatty acid to become radioactive and it appeared to be the precursor of the other unsaturated fatty acids in these oil seeds. Stearic acid was unlabelled and palmitic acid appeared to be derived by a pathway independent of that leading to oleic acid.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
