Identification of GLA and SDA in Lemna gibba . Portions of gas chromatogram traces for FA 4,4-dimethyloxazoline (DMOX) derivatives from Spirodela polyrhiza (Panel A), and Lemna gibba (Panel B). Peak labeled 1, corresponds to ALA, 2, GLA, and 3, SDA. Mass spectra corresponding to the DMOX derivatives of GLA (Panel C), and SDA (Panel D) are shown. Ions diagnostic for the positions of the double bonds in the acyl chains and mass ions are indicated and diagrammed according to W.W. Christie (http://lipidlibrary.aocs.org/ms/masspec.html).
