Trienoic fatty acids, namely 0~-linolenic acid and hexadecatrienoic acid, present in leaf lipids are produced by (0-3 fatty acid desaturases located in the endoplasmic reticulum and plastid membranes. The changes in the level of trienoic fatty acids during leaf maturation were investigated in wild-t
