Figure 7. Fatty acid composition of total lipids from developing cotton embryo axis and cotyledon.

Figure 7

A, major fatty acids in cotyledon; B, minor fatty acids in cotyledon; C, major fatty acids in embryo axis; D, minor fatty acids in embryo axis; E, carbocyclic fatty acids in embryo axis. Results represent the mean SD of three biological replicates. Minor fatty acid (accounting for <1% of the fatty acid composition) are not shown. C16∶0, palmitic acid; C16∶1, palmitoleic acid; C18∶0, stearic acid; C18∶1 (mainly C18∶1Δ9, oleic acid, with a small amount of C18∶1Δ11, cis-vaccenic acid); C18∶2, linoleic acid; C18∶3n3, α-linolenic acid; MLV, malvalic acid; STC, sterculic acid; DHS, dihydrosterculic acid. Analysed samples were derived from developing cotton embryos of 25 DAP (blue), 30 DAP (red), 35 DAP (green), 40 DAP (purple), and 45 DAP (cyan).
