Phospholipids of the ripening seeds ofSophora japonica

The change in the class and fatty acid compositions of the phospholipids during ripening of the seeds of the Japanese Pagoda tree (buds, flowers, unripe and ripe seeds) have been studied. It has been found that the ripening of the seeds is accompanied by complex transformations in the phospholipid complex indicating the important role of phospholipids in the processes of biosynthesis.
