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

Seed from additional species of Cruciferae have been analyzed for crude protein, oil and fatty acids in the oil. Oils were like those reported earlier from other crucifers, except for Cardamine impatiens which is unique among known seed oils because it contains some 25% dihydroxy acids. Erucic acid is present (0.3-55%) in about three-fourths of the 102 samples. Eicosenoic acid is a major constituent (32-53%) in four species and monohydroxy acids (45-72%) in another four. Linolenic acid occurs (2-66%) in oil of all species. © 1965 AOCS Press.
