Lipids in plant tissue cultures. V. Effect of environmental conditions on the lipids of Glycine soja and Brassica napus cultures.
The environmental conditions prevailing during growth of plant tissue cultures affect the concentration of certain lipid classes and the fatty acid patterns of the total lipids. Irrespective of whether the cultures are grown under continuous illumination or in the dark, aerated cultures contain larger proportions of sterols, steryl esters, steryl glycosides and various sterylglycolipids and lower concentrations of squalene than non-aerated cultures. The lipids of the latter contain larger proportions of saturated very long-chain fatty acids than those of the former cultures.
