Exploring Phylogenetic Relationships between Hundreds of Plant Fatty Acids Synthesized by Thousands of Plants. more details ...
Abstract Fatty acid composition of seed oils from sixteen species of Malvaceae belonging to sic genus (Abutilon, Gossypium, Hibiscus, Kosteletzkya, Thespesia and Urena) were determined. The main fatty acids were palmitic (7–24% oleic (5–20%) and linoleic (17–69%) acids. Each of the seed oils contains varying amounts of malvalic (0.1–3.9%) and sterculic (tr−3.3%) acids. Dihydrosterculic acid was also detected by GLCat low levels in most of these oils.
