Abstract

Abstract Seeds from 26 Cruciferae species in 7 genera have been investigated for fat content and fatty acid composition of the oil. The GLC retention data have been verified by mass spectrometry. The oil from Cardamine graeca contained 54% of cis‐15‐tetracosenoic acid; it is the highest content of this acid so far reported in any seed fat.
