An Uncommon Pathway in the Biosynthesis of Acetylenic Fatty Acids in Mosses

1995

Although more than 600 acetylenic compounds of various structures have been found in plants [1], hardly anything is known about the formation of the triple bonds. The acetylenes so far known from Bryophytes, have been identified as long chain fatty acids with a characteristic arrangement of one triple bond and one to three double bonds.
