Abstract

Analysis of the intracellular membranes of Iris germanica rhizomes indicated high amounts of iridals when compared to sterols and lower sterol amounts than in other plant microsomes. Microsomal preparations from other plants and animals were also shown to incorporate high amounts of iridals, with a special affinity for free iridals. The localization of free iridals within the cellular membranous fraction and their sterol-like structural role are discussed.
