Abstract
Changes in fatty acid, phospholipid and galactolipid contents during cellular and organ differentiation in Aegle marmelos have been described. Decrease in phosphatidylinositol content and presence of 3-trans-hexadecenoic acid in phosphatidylglycerol were related to greening and shoot buds differentiation. The galactolipids level, the monogalactosyl diglyceride/digalactosyl diglyceride ratio and the linolenic acid level (mainly in monogalactosyl diglyceride) increased with the degree of differentiation, indicating the possible biogenesis of functional chloroplasts.
