Content and fatty acid composition of sulfoquinovosyldiacylglycerol in conifer leaves grown in Hokkaido, Japan.
Sulfoquinovosyldiacylglycerol (SQDG) contents in conifer leaves and their fatty acid (FA) compositions were determined. The SQDG content was 16-36 mg/100 g, and was high in Picea glehnii. Palmitic and alpha-linolenic acid were the usually predominant FAs. In Picea, the proportion of alpha-linolenic acid was low, and those of oleic and linoleic acid were high. The essential oil residues of Abies sachalinensis leaves were found to be a potential source of SQDG material.
