N-acylated phospholipids and lysophospholipids of wilt-resistant varieties of the cotton plant

The minor phospholipids of the seeds of cotton plants of varieties Tashkent-1, Tashkent-2, and Tashkent-3 have been isolated and studied. The position distribution of the fatty acids in the N-acylphosphatidylethanolamines has been established. On the basis of the results of a chemical study and also of NMR spectroscopy, it is suggested that the N-acyllysophosphatidylethanolamines are 2-acylglycerophosphoryl-N-acylethanolamines, and that the lysophosphatidylcholines are 2-acylglycerophosphorylcholines.
