N-acylphosphatidylethanolamine, a phospholipid that is rapidly metabolized during the arly germnation of pea seeds.
1. A phospholipid that rapidly disappears from pea seeds during the early stages of germination has been isolated and shown to be N-acylphosphatidylethanolamine. 2. Chromatographic evidence for the presence of the same phospholipid in oats, soya beans and spring (tick) beans has been obtained, and its loss during early germination measured. 3. A scheme for the stepwise degradation of the phospholipid with alkali and acid is presented.
