Abstract

Twenty-one species in the Chenopodiaceae were analyzed for sterol composition. In ten of eleven species of Chenopodium , the major desmethylsterols were Δ 7 -sterols accompanied by lower proportions of Δ 5 -sterols. In C. fremontii this pattern was reversed. The sterol profiles of five species of Atriplex were characterized by the coexistence of Δ 7 - and Δ 5 -sterols in ratios of 0.3&ratio;1 to 0.4&ratio;1. Male Atriplex plants contained higher proportions of Δ 5 -sterols than female Atriplex plants. One Ceratoides and two Salicornia species contained Δ 5 -sterols as their predominant sterols.
