Abstract
Sterols of male and female flowers of Cucumis sativus L. were similar in composition. The principal compound was 24ξ-ethyl-5α-cholesta-7,22-dien-3β-ol. Five other 5α-Δ7 were detected: 24ξ-methyl-7-ene, 24ξ-ethyl-7-ene, 24-ethyl-7,24(28)Z-diene, 24ξ-ethyl-7,25-diene and 24ξ-ethyl-7,22,25-triene. Small amounts of Δ5 (cholesterol, 24ξ-methylcholesterol and 24ξ-ethylcholesterol) were detected. The possible significance of these sterols is discussed.Keywords
