| Abstract: | A plant lipid was isolated from zucchini (Cucurbita pepo L.) membranes and from soybean (Glycine max L.] Merr) phospholipids by thinlayer chromatography and further purified by high-performance liquid chromatography. This plant lipid was chromatographically very similar to the platelet-activating factor, an ether phospho-lipid with hormone-like properties found in mammals. Both the plant lipid and the platelet-activating factor stimulated ATP-dependent H+ transport in isolated membrane vesicles from zucchini hypocotyls.Abbreviations HPLC
