Abstract excerpt
In the seeds of the high-stearic sunflower mutant CAS-14 a gradient of increasing stearic acid exists from the embryo to the terminal extreme of the cotyledon. This gradient modifies the fatty acid composition of the total lipids, triglycerides, and phospholipids, which can best be appreciated in the triglycerides that pass from 16% stearic acid content in the embryo to 37.1% in the other extreme. This increase...
