Characteristics of fatty acid composition of some plants of Yakutia during the development of cryoresistance
There are obtained data that cover seasonal variations of qualitative composition and quantitative content of fatty acids in lipids of Pinus sylvestris needles and Equisetum variegatum shoots under permafrost conditions. The research demonstrated significant increase in polyunsaturated fatty acids content. Arachidonic acid was found in E. variegatum for the first time in this plant species. It is discussing correlation between fatty acid content and development of cryotolerance in coniferous plants and autumn-vegetating herbaceous plants of Yakutia.
