Storage Lipid Accumulation by Zygotic and Somatic Embryos in Culture

In vitro accumulation of storage lipids occurs in zygotic and somatic embryos of Brassicu napus L. The concentration of sucrose in the medium modified the pattern of storage lipid accumulation in zygotic and somatic embryos. The sucrose concentration at which the maximum amount of lipid is accumulat...

Description
Summary:In vitro accumulation of storage lipids occurs in zygotic and somatic embryos of Brassicu napus L. The concentration of sucrose in the medium modified the pattern of storage lipid accumulation in zygotic and somatic embryos. The sucrose concentration at which the maximum amount of lipid is accumulated by the two types of embryos is different Analysis of fatty acid composition showed that the same fatty acids are present in embryos in vivo and those cultured in vitro although there are quantitative differences. The possibility of using this type of system for in vitro production of valuable plant metabolites is discussed
