13-phenyltridecanoic acid in seed lipids of some aroids.
Several closely related long-chain omega-phenylalkanoic and omega-phenylalkenoic acids occur in the seed lipids of genera of the subfamily Aroideae of the Araceae. One, 13-phenyltridecanoic acid, is a major component. This is the first report of these acids in plant lipids. Their presence in only one subfamily may indicate that the Araceae is diphyletic.
