composition of cotyledons and primary roots of Citrullus vulgaris seeds when germinated at 30°C in the dark. The studies at different stages of germination help to understand the biosynthesis of lipids and the natural pathway of the formation of fatty aci

Abstract

The lipid content of primary roots (10, 20, and 30 mm)
and the respective cotyledons were determined according to
Folch's method [7,8] (Table I) and the lipids were classified
into neutral and polar lipids by TLC [9,10] using different
solvent systems (Table 2).
