Abstract Fatty acid analyses of seeds in 62 Nicotiana species and leaves in 56 Nicotiana species are presented. The total fatty acid content on a dry wt basis ranged from 25 to 40 %of seeds and from 2.1 to4.4% of green leaves. Linolenate was the dominant fatty acid in the leaves of all species studied, comprising 50-63% of the total fatty acid content. In seeds of most species linoleate predominated, constituting 69-79% of the total fatty acid content. Fourteen of 21 species in the section Suaveolentes and one species in the section Noctiflorae had relatively high proportions (10-38%) of linolenate. In two linolenate-rich species studied, linolenate was the major fatty acid of triacylglycerols which predominated in the seed lipids. © 1983.
