Abstract: | Incorporation of [1-14C] acetate into lipids by slices of soybean seedlings was studied. The results were as follows: (a) the greatest amount of radioactivity was detected in the phospholipid fraction prepared from the main axis; (b) in the cotyledons, radioactivity was about the same in pigment, phosphatidylethanolamine, and phosphatidylglycerol; (c) phosphatidylcholine was the main phospholipid labeled in the axis; (d) the distribution of radioactive fatty acids in the axis suggested that this tissue has the capacity for both phospholipid synthesis and fatty acid desaturation. |
