Abstract
In vivo oleate incorporation and desaturation in developing seeds of normal and the high oleic acid mutant of sunflower have been studied. In seeds less than 15 days after flowering (DAF) of both genotypes, incorporation and desaturation was similar and took place mainly in polar lipids. Seeds 15–35 DAF incorporated fatty acids preferently into triacylglycerols. During this period mutant seeds lacked oleate desaturation capacity but it was recovered after the cotyledon started a special process of differentiation.
