A liquid culture technique has been developed to study lipid metabolism in seeds of Brassica campestris L. grown in vitro from terminal inflorescences detached 4 to 46 days after anthesis. Seeds developed under these conditions exhibited pattern of growth, deposition of storage products and lipid composition similar to those from intact plant.

Keywords: fatty acids; liquid culture; non-polar lipids; polar lipids
Subjects: Brassica campestris; colza, seed development; fatty acids; germination; in vitro culture, from terminal inflorescences; lipid composition, seeds in vitro
