β¦ Synopsis
Rape (Brassiea napus cv. Target) and turnip rape (Brassica campestrb cv. Echo) were grown as callus cultures. The lipids isolated from these cultures were found to contain substantial amounts of monogalactosyl diglycerides, digalactosyl diglycerides, and phosphatidyl glycerol, whereas sulfolipids, ethanolamine phosphoglycerides and choline phosphoglycerides occurred in small proportions. The constituent fatty acids of the triglycerides from the two tissue cultures contained more than 50% of 18:3, but they were free of 22: 1, which is a major fatty acid in the triglycerides from seed oils of both rape and turnip rape.

The lipids in callus cultures ofHydnocarpus anthelminthica were studied after 60, 160 and 460 days of growth. In each of the cultures the lipid classes usually found in plant tissue cultures were detected. With increasing age of the cultures the total lipid content as well as the proportions of trig
Lipids from callus cultures and suspension cultures of higher plants constitute 5 to 8% of the dry tissue's weight. The predominant lipid classes are the sterols, steryl esters, steryl glycosides and esterified steryl glycosides. Considerable amounts of a variety of sterylglycolipids, whose structur
The environmental cond itions prevailing during growth of plant tissue cultures affect the concentration of certain lipid classes and the fatty acid patterns of the total lipids. Irrespective of whether the cultures are grown under continuous illumination or in the dark, aerated cultures contain lar
## Abstract The pattern of lipid classes in plant tissue cultures is similar to that in nonβphotosynthetic plants and plant organs, monoβgalactosyl diglycerides, digalactosyl diglycerides, sulfoquinovosyl diglycerides and phosphatidyl glycerol being very low or absent. In contrast, photosynthetic p
