Essay

3. The object of investigation is surface lipids of some different sorts of maize and sorghum seeds. It has been shown that the main components of surface lipids of sorghum seeds were C28 and C30 – aldehydes and in maize ones – esters. Content of hydrocarbons and fatty acids was studied and different intensity of the processes of elongation and desaturation in epidermal tissues of investigated plants was shown. By use of the differential thermal analysis the parameters of phase transitions were determined in surface lipids of sorghum and maize seeds. On the base of obtained date the potential biosynthesis scheme of some lipid components in surface plant tissues was proposed. Field of application: scientific and educational institutes of biological and agriculture type.
