Exploring Phylogenetic Relationships between Hundreds of Plant Fatty Acids Synthesized by Thousands of Plants.

Nineteen species and varieties of Amaranthaceae were analysed for sterol composition. The desmethyl sterol content of these plants varied from 0.0084 % to 0.034 % of the total dry weight. Spinasterol and 7-stigmastenol were the dominant sterols in all species, although low levels of 5-unsaturated sterols were detected. Minor sterols identified in one or more species included cholesterol, campesterol, stigmasterol and sitosterol as well as 7,22-ergostadienol, 7,24(28)-ergostadienol, 7-ergostenol, 7,25-stigmastadienol and 7,24(28)-stigmastadienol, stigmastanol and 24-methylenecycloartanol were also present. Identifications were based on a combination of gas chromatography, high performance liquid chromatography and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. © 1986.
