The occurrence of bound, water-soluble squalene, 4,4-dimethyl sterols, 4α-methyl sterols and sterols in leaves of Kalanchoe blossfeldiana
A bound, non-dialysable, water soluble fraction from which squ alene, 4,4-dimethyl sterols, 4α-methyl sterols and sterols are released by treatment with alkaline pyrogallol or DMSO has been shown to occur in leaves of the higher plant, Kalanchoe blossfeldiana. The sterol composition of this and a se...

| Summary: | A bound, non-dialysable, water soluble fraction from which squ alene, 4,4-dimethyl sterols, 4α-methyl sterols and sterols are released by treatment with alkaline pyrogallol or DMSO has been shown to occur in leaves of the higher plant,
Kalanchoe blossfeldiana. The sterol composition of this and a second bound, water-soluble sterol fraction, broken down by acid treatment, were different and both were significantly different from the composition of the free sterol fraction. Possible metabolic roles for bound, water-soluble sterols and their biosynthetic precursors are considered. |
