Abstract
An analysis of the phospholipids and phospholipid fatty acids of germinating hazel seeds has been carried out. The phospholipid content of the cotyledons and embryonic axes increased during germination. Early increases in the relative amounts of phosphatidyl glycerol and decreases in the relative amounts of phosphatidyl ethanolamine occurred in both cotyledons and axes. The later stages of germination were accompanied by further changes in the phospholipid composition of the axes. Increases in the degree of unsaturation of the C18 fatty acids occurred in both tissues.
