[Influence of b and giberellic acid on the transformation of lipids in glucids during the germination of sunflower seeds (author's transl)].

The transformation of total lipids in carbohydrates and the evolution of the fatty acids, constituents of these lipids, during the germination of sunflower seeds, soaked previously in B and giberellic acid solutions, was studied. An inverse relationship between the total content in fatty acids and sugars of the blank (H20) and AG3 treatments was found. However, in the whole germinative process, the B and B + AG3 treatments changed strongly the carbohydrates metabolism and no significant differences of those constituents was observed. The content in fatty acids in the two last treatments showed a great stability and the percentage of these components remained fixed in all the treatments.
