| Abstract: | Plasma membrane preparations from soybean root and hypocotyl contained the following free sterols: cholesterol, campesterol, stigmasterol, and sitosterol. The cholesterol level was relatively low in root plasma membrane (less than 0.5%) but was 1.4 to 2.4% in hypocotyl membrane. The relative levels of the three other sterols fluctuated with cellular development and tissue source. Campesterol level decreased with the development of both root and hypocotyl membrane. With development, stigmasterol increased greatly in root membrane but remained constant in hypocotyl membrane, and sitosterol, the major free sterol component of all membrane preparations, decreased in root membrane but increased slightly in hypocotyl membrane. |
