Abstract:
Analysis of plant lipids provides insights into a range of biological processes, from photosynthetic membrane function to oil seed engineering. Many lipid extraction protocols are tailored to fit a specific lipid class. Here we describe a procedure for extraction of glycerolipids from vegetative tissue. This procedure is designed for 1 gram of tissue per sample but maybe scaled for larger samples.
