Abstract
Leaf slices from spinach [Spinacia oleracea] exhibited considerable variation in their incorporation of [14C]bicarbonate and [1-14C]acetate into fatty acids. Reductive ozonolysis studies indicated that all the 14C-labeled fatty acids were synthesized de novo; no in vivo evidence was found for the previously proposed elongation of hexadecatrienoate to .alpha.-linolenate.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
