Exploring Phylogenetic Relationships between Hundreds of Plant Fatty Acids Synthesized by Thousands of Plants. more details ...
Abstract Seed oils ofUrena repanda andThespesia lampas (Malvaceae) were found to contain malvalic (2.6, 0.6%) and sterculic (1.1, 2.1%) acids, respectively, besides the normal fatty acids. Cooccurrence of these two acids were established by gas Chromatographic analysis of silver nitrate/methanol-treated methyl esters usingSterculia foetida esters as a reference standard.
